Romea und Julian
Project Introduction
Over the next three weeks you will be listening to and working with the German radio-play "Romea & Julian." Not wanting to give away too much of the story, you can expect a modern version of the classic Shakespearian play with lots of twists and surprises. You will be asked to listen to the play, answer a series of questions, keep a vocabulary journal and complete a final project. We hope you will enjoy the story and this project.
NOTE: In order to complete the project, your computer must be able to play RealAudio files!
(The recordings and text are a co-production of Utbildningsradion, Finlands
Svenska Radio, Norsk Rikskringkasting, Danmarks Radio and Roman Schatz Ltd.)
Project Objectives
- students will become familiar with the popular form of a radio play.
