Note: Many of these items (the Globe Theatre materials, Shakespearean sonnet materials, slam contest, study question set, Act 2 character map, character cell phone, cover artist, quote race, and flyswatter review game) are sold separately at my store. No need to purchase these items separately if you grab this budget-priced bundle. The other items are not sold separately and can be purchased only as part of this bundle. There is some overlap in products featured here and in my Romeo & Juliet bundle. Feel free to contact me at laurarandazzo@yahoo.com to help you decide the most budget-minded way to purchase materials from both unit plans.
