What is our class reading book?

Since we are studying the Shakespeare classic Macbeth, we have decided to read from a collection of Shakespeare short stories, by Andrew Matthews.

This week, we shall specifically be focusing on Romeo and Juliet. We shall also be using modern retellings (English KS2 / KS3: ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare – (animation) – BBC Teach and Gnomeo and Juliet) to help us understand the storyline and draw comparisons.
