2 1. Stepanian Understanding by Design Unit Title: Romeo and Juliet Stage 1: Desired Results Understandings Students will understand that Shakespearean tragedies and concepts serve as cultural currency. There is a text and sub-text in dramatic plays and this tension is identifiable yet subtle. Blind alliances and judgments can lead to destructive consequences. Love is sometimes irrational passion sometimes colors perception. Literature is Art and Art imitates Life. Romeo and Juliet is a classic. Essential Questions What s in a name? What is true love? What is human nature? What is worth dying for? When is it justifiable for people to intervene in other people s affairs? What s the difference between what people say and what they do? How do we interpret characters? What is cultural currency? Why is Romeo and Juliet timeless? What is a tragedy? What is a tragic flaw? What does Romeo and Juliet have to do with today?

Enduring Understandings: Love is irrational - passion colors perception Language evolves over time, but human nature does not Overall Lesson Objectives: Analyze the different types of love Discuss how Romeo and Juliet view love Analyze the social implications of love in Elizabethan England Different understandings of love and marriage help to create the thematic tension in the play. How does individual conception of love guide ones choices in life?

Homework: (5 minutes) Students will receive a handout with five quotations about love from the scenes of the play that have been read already. Their assignment is to: 1. Interpret each quote 2. Explain the context of each quote. 3. Use the taxonomy to categorize the type of love the character is speaking of. Explain why you chose this category. Use textual evidence as support. Assessment: Students will be assessed based on: their responses during class discussion the completion of group work handouts Level of on task work during group work If students can grasp the enduring concept of love, they can begin to understand the timelessness of the story of Romeo and Juliet. Making connections between self and text will allow students to see that human nature has not changed.
