Romeo and Juliet is an excellent introduction to Shakespeare. It shows how tragedy can result from the intense attraction of young love. It gives a demonstration of the risks of gang violence. It provides an example of the great weakness of suicide and provides a warning of the dangers with holding grudges. The story illustrates the unpredictable outcomes that can come from fighting and it provides an example of the unintended consequences of revenge.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below one of the discussion questions from the Learning Guide to Romeo and Juliet.
Notice the choreography of the fight between Romeo and Tybalt. Tybalt is getting the best of Romeo but when Tybalt goes in for the kill, he leaves himself open for a moment. Romeo recovers just enough to take advantage of that opening and Tybalt is slain. Is this a realistic way in which a fight can happen? What can we learn from this about the risks of fighting?
The Learning Guide to Romeo and Juliet also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
