In English, pupils explored the dilemma faced by Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, debating whether she should obey her father and marry Count Paris or follow her heart and be with Romeo. The lesson began with a class discussion to ensure understanding of Juliet’s situation, followed by pupils working in groups to consider arguments for and against each choice. They examined themes such as family loyalty, love, and personal freedom, using evidence from the text to support their ideas. Each group then prepared and presented their arguments to the class, demonstrating their speaking and listening skills. The activity encouraged critical thinking, collaboration, and empathy, as pupils considered different perspectives before forming and justifying their own opinions.
