Learning Goals
Students will be able to analyze conflict in key scenes from Romeo and Juliet and a live or filmed performance to determine what each medium emphasizes or leaves out about disagreement.
Students will be able to cite evidence from Romeo and Juliet, rehearsals, and performance observations to justify how conflict escalates or de-escalates in a scene.
Students will be able to participate in community circles and collaborative discussions using active listening, respectful turn-taking, and building on peers’ ideas.
Students will be able to identify and apply restorative response strategies to everyday ninth-grade conflict situations in order to reduce harm and repair relationships.
Students will be able to prototype before-and-after conflict scenes that show a harmful response and a stronger restorative response.
Students will be able to revise dramatized conflict scenes based on counselor, peer, and audience feedback to improve clarity, tone, and respectfulness.
Students will be able to reflect on their own communication and collaboration choices to explain how they strengthened academic understanding and relationship skills.
Products
Conflict Analysis Notebook and Individual Restorative Scene Prototype
Each student submits an evidence-based notebook with scene analysis, circle notes, and a one-page prototype of an improved conflict response. The work must show how firsthand observations and textual evidence informed the student’s design choices.
Before-and-After Conflict Scene Performance with Restorative Response Poster
Teams present a revised dramatized scene that shows both the initial conflict and a restorative alternative, supported by a poster explaining the response strategy and revisions made from feedback. The product is designed for authentic viewing and discussion with classmates, families, and community guests.
