Upper School have been reading and studying Romeo and Juliet in our English lessons. This week we finished the play and discussed the themes that run through the plot. The children then divided into two groups, the Montagues and the Capulets. The objective was to prepare arguments for who was to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The children discussed their ideas in their groups and used a scribe to write them down. Next week, we will hold a court style debate to present the arguments from each family. I will act as judge and jury and decide which family presents the best case.
