Lesson details
Key learning points
- Writing is most successful when it is planned; this can include planning the vocabulary we may wish to include.
- Juliet's diary entries will cover meeting Romeo, discovering he is a Montague and agreeing to marry him.
- We will want to give Juliet's first impressions of Romeo by showing how she perceives him.
- We will want to show Juliet's emotions at different points in the narrative.
- We can use both rich vocabulary and show-not-tell to describe emotions.
Common misconception
Pupils may be confused by the structure of the diary entries proposed.
We will be writing a diary entry for Juliet written after the ball and then a short second entry in which she reflects on the marriage agreement.
