Alternative Versions: Romeo and Juliet Revisited

 Romeo and Juliet
Creative Writing Assignment


Directions: Choose one of the following topics and write a detailed narrative or outline of a plan in  a minimum 1000 word response.

a) With particular issues in mind from previous journal topics, construct an alternative ending to the act by having characters choose to react differently to some of the challenges they face in that act. In other words, create your own "Romeo and Juliet, Choose Your Own Adventure" chapter.

b) The Ultimate Romeo and Juliet: Develop a plan for a film production of Romeo and Juliet detailing sets and costumes as well as props and scene set-up directions. Include possible casting wish lists and brief descriptions as to why you think that actor would be particularly suited for that role.

Reminder: You only need to respond to ONE of the topics.
