What educators are saying

The Star-Crossed Lovers unit was my favorite unit we did all year. I loved reading the different stories, and I learned a lot about the different ways that love can be expressed.
Amazing bundle of resources that I've never used before because I didn't know about them. Adding in these other stories really helped to diversify my Brit Lit curriculum.

Description

In this unit, students will close read and discuss key star-crossed love stories such as “Orpheus and Eurydice” and “Layla and Majnun.” I have also included an excerpted version of Romeo and Juliet that includes the major scenes / moments from the play to make it more palatable for students and also easier to read in a short amount of time. Excerpts from the play are accompanied by close reading tasks, questions, and discussions to help students interact with the text in a meaningful way.

This bundle includes:

  1. Star-Crossed Lovers Discussion Guide
  2. TedTalk Lesson & Listening Guide
  3. “Orpheus and Eurydice” Text & Close Reading Questions
  4. “Orpheus and Eurydice” Pottery Activity
