Level B: Romeo and Juliet - Parallel Universe
Students use a simple simulation to explore "what if" questions relating to characters. They can change how characters behave to consider whether a story might have emerged differently.
Note that students do not need to read the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet in order to explore the simulation.
Learning goals:
- Represent and interpret data on a line graph.
- Create conditions that produce specific relationship dynamics.
- Describe a loop of feelings between two characters.
- Identify and describe other types of relationships that oscillate in a similar fashion.
|
Student Challenge:
- Create different scenarios for the relationship between Romeo and Juliet – one that they perceive as matching the original story dynamics and others that are variations.
Curricular Connections:
- Analyze how particular elements of a story or drama interact. (Common Core: 7th Grade Language Arts)
- Compare and contrast a written story, drama, or poem to its audio, filmed, staged, or multimedia version, analyzing the effects of techniques unique to each medium.(Common Core: 7th Grade Language Arts)
