This Romeo and Juliet movie guide helps students analyze Shakespeare’s tragedy through characterization, conflict, imagery, and the destructive speed of impulsive choices. Use the questions to help students compare key scenes, trace the lovers’ decisions, and discuss how family pressure and miscommunication drive the ending.
Note: This movie guide is for the 1968, Zeffirelli film, *NOT* the 1996 Luhrmann film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. My movie guide for the 1996 version can be found here.
This product .zip file includes:
- A student movie guide, PDF print version (5 pages)
- A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide
- An answer key (5 pages) is included, however, some answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning throughout the film and many questions are open-ended.
- A generic movie guide permission slip (1 page)
- CCSS alignment indicating standards met, PDF (1 page – see also preview image)
- CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.
This movie guide is included in this full year film elective curriculum:
- Film as Literature & Cinematic Arts Curriculum — A more rigorous track built around canonical, mature titles prized for depth and analysis—iconic selections that may be harder to source, best for honors/AP-bridge and seminar-style courses.
Here are my tips for using the Romeo and Juliet Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG - 1968) with students in your classroom:
- Print one, double-sided movie guide for each student
- Preview each question on the movie guide as you come to it before resuming the movie
- Pause at the times designated on the movie guide and help students if necessary
- Discussion here is great, encourage and allow students to share their ideas and thoughts for any question
- Discourage students from simply copying answers
- If needed, and if time allows, feel free to rewind and show important parts of the movie for additional analysis
- After completing the short answers on the movie guide, allow 5-10 minutes for each essay question at the end
- On average, completing this movie guide will require about 30-45 minutes in addition to the length of the movie
