I took the first half of the story and turned it into a two-part reader's theater. The first part takes students to the initial discussion with Zaroff with a chance for them to predict what the most dangerous game is. The second part takes them

Translated Script of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
After years of teaching the play, I decided to update it in order to make it more accessible to my students and also so they could ENJOY acting it out instead of just reading it from a textbook.
