Unit 4: Love in an Imperfect World – Romeo and Juliet<br />

Time: 25 hours<br />

Unit Description<br />

Literary elements, such as plot, subplot, characterization, setting, conflict, theme, and point of view, are<br />

studied through the analysis of excerpts of a Shakespearean play. Students study the elements of style,<br />

including allusion, contrast, hyperbole, understatement, oxymoron, irony, symbolism, and<br />

foreshadowing. Gerunds are studied in the context of the play. The sonnet form is analysed and identified<br />

within the play. Students write a literary essay on a topic of their choice. They compare and contrast a<br />

Shakespearean play with a media work on a similar theme.<br />
