Romeo & Juliet Project:
Action Plan and Presentation Confirmation Form
Directions: In this project, you will apply the themes and issues within Romeo and Juliet to modern life and work on solutions to age-old problems that are presented in the play: communicating with parents, dealing with peer pressure, maintaining self-control, making good decisions, combating hate crimes, and preventing suicide. Part of the assignment involves sharing your ideas and solutions to a wider audience than just your classmates. Use the information below to plan and document your presentation to an outside audience. Remember the steps for any successful action plan:
Step 1: Determine what problem or issue you want to address.
Step 2: Plan what you can do to change it.
Step 3: Decide what resources you need.
Step 4: Act on your plan.
Step 5: Evaluate and celebrate your success!

| Summary of experience (What did you do? How did it go? How well was it received? Students were interested and teachers said we did a good job. We hope it made a difference--even if just in the life of one student. Everyone was given a brochure so they all now have the resources to contact in case they need help. They didn't have that before. |
