Teachers frequently ask for age-appropriate stories for their young adult and adult students at the beginner levels. This book includes three adaptations of Romeo and Juliet for beginners. The beginner student only has to learn 96 words to understand the simplest adaptation. And these 96 words are ones that they need every day in their lives. Only three words in the story are not on "the most commonly used words" list: Romeo, Juliet and Tybolt. If the students can describe the basic simplified plot of the play with only 96 words, imagine what else they will be able to speak about.

This book is ideal for the teacher who has a class of beginner students at a variety of levels. Each of the three adaptations comes with its own vocabulary list and exercises.

The exercises include:

o     Fill in the Blanks
o     True or False
o     Word Finds
o     Crosswords
o     Adjectives
o     Nouns
o     Verb Tenses
o     Syllables
o     Spelling Tests
o     Alphabetical Order
o     Bingo
o     Comprehension Questions
o     Comprehension Questions Based on Structure
o     Opposites
o     Match the Word to the Picture
o     A Unit on Family

The appendix includes a website activity, and tips for putting on a student-generated Romeo and Juliet play.
