Romeo and Juliet: Set Design Project

The ninth grade literature classes have been working through Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. One interesting element of William's work as a dramatist is his lack of set description. Instead, the action of a scene indicates what a set needs, and the imagination does the rest. To connect with this relationship, students were tasked with the objective of analyzing a scene of their choice and building a miniature set. Results ranged from glitzzy and glamorous bedchambers for Juliet, to borderline Gothic interpretations of the Capulet's ballroom, where the star-crossed lovers met. Every group produced a unique and quality interpretation of their scene, and the results are quite impressive.
