Suggestions on my romeo and juliet presentation?

Question

so for english class, we are supposed to memorize the prologue of romeo and juliet and perform it in a creative way --"two households both alike in dignity..."

I have no idea what to do. My teacher suggests something like a rap, but I'm too embarrassed to try something like that . Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 2

Do it like a kids' story.

Have a little stand and put the bits up, like you might with a story for kids. So, as you say "two housholds" put up two pictures of mansions. And as you say "in fair Verona", put up a background of the city of Verona. And as you talk about the Montagues and Capulets, put them up, until you get to "a pair of star-crossed lovers", when you put Romeo and Juliet in the middle.

If there is a whiteboard in the room, most of them are metal, so you could put magnets on your pictures and put them on the board.
