Romeo and Juliet Mock Trial Project
A mock trial is an excellent way to engage a student’s critical thinking skills, and persuasive writing skills, and challenge their knowledge of a sequence of events. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, several violent deaths occur and at the end of the play it’s ambiguous who will be punished and how.
