Webquest Romeo and Juliet

Introducción

Romeo y Julieta es una de las obras de teatro más famosas de la literatura inglesa. Fue escrita en 1595 por William Shakespeare, autor de obras conocidas como Mucho Ruido y Pocas Nueces o La Tempestad. He elegido esta tragedia porque trata el amor entre dos adolescentes que están dispuestos a hacer cualquier cosa para estar juntos y porque se puede considerar como la referencia mundial de la pasión. Además es una obra corta que capta la atención desde el principio y no deja descansar hasta el fatal desenlace.

Tarea

El objetivo de la tarea es realizar una representación del Acto 2, Escena 2, la escena del balcón, de la obra Romeo y Julieta escrita por William Shakespeare. Los alumnos os debéis reunir por parejas para interpretar esta escena en la obra de teatro de final de curso. Si alguno de vosotros se queda sin pareja que se ponga en contacto conmigo.

Proceso

Para realizar la tarea, deberéis antes seguir los siguientes pasos:

1) Antes de leer la obra se debe entender el contexto histórico en el que fue escrita y además los puntos clave para poder comprender la obra en su totalidad.

2) A continuación se debe leer Romeo y Julieta al completo para poder captar el sentido de esa escena dentro de la obra.

3)Una vez leída la obra consultar las dudas que tengan con el diccionario o consultar las citas.

4)Tras haber trabajado en esto, se debe ver la escena a representar para por ver los gestos, tipo de ropa, etc… que se espera que sean utilizadas.

5)A partir de aquí se debe comenzar a preparar para el día de la representación.

Recursos




Os proporciono, además de los links proporcionados arriba, más páginas que os pueden ser de ayuda:

• Palabras y frases clave, pasajes populares y más links.

Si hubiera alguna duda siempre os podéis poner en contacto con el profesor.

Evaluación

En la evaluación se tendrá en cuenta tanto la parte representativa de la obra como la fluidez y pronunciación del idioma.

Como no pueden actuar todos los grupos en la obra de fin de curso, dos semanas antes se realizarán las representaciones para ser evaluadas y se elegirá la que más destaque para actuar en la obra de fin de curso.

Conclusión

Estas actividades permitirán al alumno desarrollarse en la expresión corporal y la actuación en público a la vez que aprende a aprender. Para poder interpretar esta obra el alumno habrá hecho un ejercicio de comprensión lectora y auditiva intenso que luego se reflejará en la capacidad oral que demuestre durante la representación. Asimismo, es una oportunidad de introducir a los alumnos clásicos cuyos temas son atemporales

Madness "Our House"

Madness Lyrics
Our House Lyrics
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleepBrother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, in the middle of our street(Something tells you)(That you've got to get away from it)Our house, in the middle of our
Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways[Instrumental Interlude]
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
I remember way back then when
Everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play
Simply waste the day away
Then we'd say
Nothing would come between us
Two dreamers
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
