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 />
