Some of the characters are confusing, some scenes do not advance the plot or are not school appropriate, and some of the language is dense.For these reasons, I created an abridged and modified version of Macbeth.

So I got to work creating a side-by-side version of Romeo and Juliet with the text on the left and guiding questions and activities on the right. In an effort to make the text more accessible for students, I el
