Description
Up your review game engagement with this Murder Mystery Romeo and Juliet Recap!
*Update: There is a digital version for the murder mystery. I have also included a BASIC alternate version that does not yet have a digital option.
*Update: I've created additional PDF character sheets that can be printed front to back so all you have to do for character cards is print and fold. Set-up just got that much easier!
I use this lesson as a little recap at the end of Act 2 (specifically, right after Act 2, scene iv) and my students love it. They enjoy taking on the roles of the characters, and they enjoy the competition and challenge of trying to find the murderer. BONUS! It reinforces which characters which house (Montague or Capulet) and previous events in the play.
This product includes:
-An introduction sheet with the background of the incident: a Capulet servant was murdered in the bathhouse the morning after the Capulet feast. The murdered servant is a made up character so it does not disrupt the understanding of the play. All of the other characters were around the area that morning and are suspects for various reasons - either they are Montagues or they had some sort of disagreement/issue with the servant.
-18 character cards (all characters from the play) that detail how the person knows the victim, where they were during the incident, and what's happened recently in the play with the character. This activity works well with class sizes of 12-36. Any class over 18 can double up two students to one character or can run two mysteries at the same time. Six of the characters can be removed from the set and the story will still make sense.
-A copy of a Verona map so students can keep track of who was where when the incident occurred. The map is based off of an actual map of Verona with some liberties taken to make the story work.
-A notes sheet to detail the different characters, motives, and alibis. I included an answer key for this portion as well. I use this as an assessment for the students.
An engaging way to review the characters and what has happened in the play so far!
