Goodbye!

And so we come to the end of our time @ Queenswood :( May you all have a safe journey back home and a well earned rest! Make sure you enjoy the rest of your summer and maybe we'll see some of you again next year!

I am working on uploading the photoshows from the assemblies and also the fantastic videos that were produced by the video workshop. Here are some...more will follow!

Week 5- Shakespeare


So it's the final week!

This week in Ecomm we're going to look at Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare's most famous plays.

For those who have finished all the projects available or want to try something new, here is a list of Romeo and Juliet related projects. If you don't know the play very well I would advise you to start at the beginning of the list.

  1. Character Profiles.

  2. A newspaper article reporting the death of Romeo and Juliet.

  3. Writing an alternative ending to the play.

  4. Watching different film versions of Romeo and Juliet and comparing and contrasting.

  5. Compare and contrast characters- Romeo/Juliet or Tybalt/Mercutio.

  6. Rewrite a scene using modern day language and setting.
