William ShakespeareRomeo and Juliet

• Thesis Students will locate information on
  William Shakespeares life, the Elizabethan Era,
  the Elizabethan theatre, some of controversy
  surrounding Shakespeare and his writing, and
  information to aid in the comprehension of Romeo
  and Juliet.
• This Pathfinder is intended to help students
  locate biographical information on Shakespeare
  and any information on Romeo and Juliet that will
  aid in comprehension. Before reading Romeo and
  Juliet, I like students to have a basic
  understanding of the life and times of William
  Shakespeare. In addition, students like to use
  resources to help them understand the play. I
  want to direct them to the best information for
  assistance with comprehension. This Pathfinder
  will lead students to reliable sources in both
  areas.
• This Pathfinder is aimed at high school students,
  specifically ninth graders, as the embark on a
  study of Shakespeare and prior to reading Romeo
  and Juliet. However, the biographical
  information could be used with any high school
  student before reading Shakespeare.
• Key Resources Throughout this Pathfinder, four
  Key Resources will be identified in blue text. A
  key resource indicates that the entry is one of
  the most useful resources for finding the
  information outlined.

Television Mini-Series
Television mini-seriess often allow directors to
portray lives in their entirety, rather than
having to edit for time purposes. These are
often easily broken down into sections and are
good for classroom use.
Cullingham, M., Knights, R. (Directors).
(2008). Will Shakespeare. Television
Series. United States AE Home Video. Tim
Curry stars in this 1978 AE mini-series. As
with many productions, parts of Shakespeares
personal life have been fictionalized for
dramatic purposes. Despite any embellishments,
the mini-series helps viewers understand
Shakespeare in context, both historically and
culturally.
22
23
Motion Pictures
Major motion pictures of Shakespeares plays are
readily available and often help students
understand the language and content of
Shakespeares plays.

• Zeffirelli, F. (Director). (1968). Romeo and
  Juliet. Motion Picture. United States
  Paramount.
• In addition to winning Academy Awards for Best
  Cinematography and Best Costume Design, the film
  was also nominated for Best Director and Best
  Picture. Unlike previous film versions,
  Zefirelli cast unknown teenagers for the roles of
  Romeo and Juliet, more similar in age to
  Shakespeares characters. Despite much of
  Shakespeares dialogue being cut, this is
  continues to be considered one of the best
  productions of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet.

23
24
Motion Pictures

• Luhrmann, B., Martin, C., Martinelli, G.,
  Bilcock, J. (Producers), Luhrmann, B.
  (Director). (1996). Romeo Juliet. Motion
  Picture. United States 20th Century Fox.
• A modernized version of Romeo and Juliet, Buhrman
  sets the scene in New York City and uses guns
  rather than the swords more fitting to the
  original time period. Despite this
  modernization, Shakespeares original text is
  used. Some students are immediately turned off
  by the older cinematic versions, thinking they
  need a more recent movie to enjoy and relate.
  Although this may not be the best film, it
  certainly gets students interested and listening
  to Shakespeares language.
