K-2: Colorful Meanings
If you were a gnome, what color hat would you want to wear? Why?
What other objects do you think of that are connected with that color?
3-5: Setting & Story
Setting plays a major role in shaping a story. Gnomeo and Juliet is set in two neighboring gardens.
What are some characteristics and commonly found objects in backyards and gardens (Include at least 3 in your answer)? How could those characteristics and objects be used in the story?
6-8: Isn't It Punny?
A pun is a figure of speech that plays on the multiple meaning of words. Shakespeare used puns in his plays and poems all the time.
Brainstorm a list of at least 10 words that have more than one meaning. Then, write a sentence for each word that uses it as a pun.
9-12: Modern Text Romance
First, read the original balcony scene from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Then, rewrite part of their conversation as if it took place via text message.

We use a third party link so I'm not sure how to fix that. Try the links on the bottom of the page for the official website.
