The Romeo & Juliet Internet Project

These web pages have been created by the college level English class of a German high school. In the 12th grade, one year before we will get our "Abitur" (the German high school diploma), a student teacher came to our class and suggested this internet project which she called "Romeo & Juliet and the Internet". Beforehand we had read "Romeo & Juliet" in class. Now we surfed the internet for everything we could find out about Shakespeare and Romeo & Juliet.

On our pages you can get information about everything you have always wanted to know about this topic. Everything? No, not really everything, but we tried to give you an idea about some (new) aspects.

At this point we would also like to thank Ms Henning, our student teacher, for this opportunity to find out more about the internet. It has been a very great time which the whole class has enjoyed a lot.
