MODERN ROMEO AND JULIET

It is not easy to try and engage our students when we announce that we are going to learn about William Shakespeare.

I use this webquest in order to make them discover him by themselves, trying to catch their attention by making them explore the similarities between the plays William Shakespeare wrote, and their lifes today.

I hope it is useful for your lessons!
