Facilitator's Overview

In this activity, students will rewrite the Prologue from “Romeo and Juliet” using a different setting, conflict, and characters. Students are instructed to submit their responses in a Canvas assignment.

Assignment Details:

We have recommended that students use either Google Docs or Microsoft Word to compose their story, but if you have a preference, update step 5 in the Writing A Prologue - Modern Translation assignment.

The assignment instructs students to submit their document. The submission type is configured to allow online submission and provides students with the option to upload a file or share a link.

If you would like the assignment to be graded, update the assignment settings to include a point value.

Teacher’s note: You could add a presentation piece to this activity by asking students to share their writing by recording a video on Flipgrid.
