Our 9th grade Literature students have been diving into The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare! After close reading and discussion, students prepared for and participated in a friendly debate, arguing whether Juliet’s decision to drink the potion was an act of bravery or foolishness.
Through this activity, students practiced critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and respectful discourse—skills that extend far beyond the classroom and into real-world conversations. 👏🎭
