Romeo and Juliet Sequence & Write | Shakespeare Story Retelling

Explore Romeo and Juliet with an illustrated introduction to Shakespeare and three ways to retell the same story. Suggested ages 9–12, with adult guidance. Choose activities to suit pupils’ reading and writing confidence.

What’s included

• A simplified illustrated story in ten events

• Sequence-and-write panels with three pictures per page and generous writing space

• Matching caption cards for completing the activity by reading rather than writing

• A clockwise picture story map and matching cut-out cards

• Teacher notes, vocabulary support and a sequence reference

First learn the story together, then cut, mix and resequence the pictures. Pupils can write, match captions or retell aloud. They do not need to complete all three activities.

Format: 13-page PDF | A4 portrait | Black-and-white printable pages. Print at 100% / actual size so matching pieces fit.
