Animated Story Artifact

I can use this animation to introduce the play, Romeo and Juliet to my students. 

They can use apps like PuppetPals2 to do scenes from the play. The idea

is to lead to better understanding of the words of Shakespeare.

	Hello, I am William Shakespeare I am hear to explain the Prologue to my play, Romeo and Juliet.	Shakespeare comes out.
Two households, both alike in dignity,	Two families of the same social status.	Two heads of families.
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,	The play takes place in Verona, Italy.	Verona background.
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,	There has been a long-standing feud.	Characters with swords.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.	These "civilians" are not being "civil." They are fighting in the streets.	Have sword fight.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes /A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;	Romeo and Juliet are born into families that hate each other. The stars control their destinies. They will have tragic end.	Romeo and Juliet come out. Others off stage.
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows / Do with their death bury their parents' strife.	Their deaths end the feud between their families.	Families shake hands.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, / And the continuance of their parents' rage, /Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, /Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;	Their story is the topic of our play that will last about two hours.	Shakespeare points to stage.
The which if you with patient ears attend, / What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.	If you didn't get all that, watch the play and it will be explained.	Shakespeare  walks across stage.
