ROMEO AND JULIET with CD - Black Cat / Reading & Training

The story of Romeo and Juliet is perhaps the best-known love story of all time. The tragic but triumphant story of Shakespeare's two young star-crossed lovers still shines through in this version retold in modern English. This reader uses the EXPANSIVE READING approach, where the text becomes a springboard to improve language skills and to explore historical background, cultural connections and other topics suggested by the text. As well as the story, this reader contains: - An introduction about Shakespeare and his life - A wide range of activities practising the four skills - Dossiers: In Fair Verona, Settings and Sources, Romeo and Juliet on film and Great Love Stories - Internet projects - PET-style activities - Trinity-style activities (Grade 5) - An audio CD/CD-ROM with a full recording of the text and a variety of activities and games for further practice - A playscript - An exit test with answer key
