All Rise for the Honorable Judge (Mrs.) Cowan! 👩🏽⚖️
After reading the play Romeo and Juliet, Mrs. Cowan's 8th-grade English 1 students were tasked with an Inquiry-Based Learning Problem. Students conducted a trial in which they had to either proved that Friar Lawrence was guilty or innocent of negligent homicide regarding the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The students were assigned to the prosecution or defense and had to make compelling arguments using textual evidence from the play. They then presented the argument before a non-biased jury. After intense deliberation, the jury found Friar Lawrence guilty for his role in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet!
