Using a combination of pre-recorded videos, websites, and a Nearpod presentation, students will cover the characters and plot of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." The class takes the form of a murder mystery, based on events from Act IV of "Romeo and Juliet," when Juliet fakes her own death. The student(s) will pretend to be a detective, hired by Juliet's mother to investigate her apparent death, and will subsequently learn about her relationship with Romeo. The students will get to follow clues, reconstruct crimes, interrogate suspects, and generally play detective while they write down the ‘suspects,’ establish a timeline, and solve the mystery!

más de 4 semanasLección 1:
Background on the Game
Through a series of slides, you’ll learn that you are playing the part of a detective, hired by Juliet’s parents to investigate her sudden death. You’ll read her obituary, look at a crime scene photo, and the story so far. You'll also have a pdf case file, which you can fill out with questions that you will answer as the case unfolds.
Lección 2:
Poison Analysis
In a pre-recorded video, The Investigator introduces himself. He is in the middle of doing a toxicology test on the vial found near Juliet’s bed. He explains that most poisons are either highly acidic, or highly alkali (aka, bases). Testing the liquid’s PH will help you determine if the substance is poisonous or not.
In a short simulation via Nearpod, you will test multiple liquids for acidity or alkalinity.
Home Experiment Time- You'll learn how to test substances in your own home for acidity
Lección 3:
Crime Scene Investigation
Using the Nearpod slides and a linked website, you'll figure out what happened to Juliet's cousin Tybalt the day before her own mysterious death.
Lección 4:
Newspaper Article Clue
Read the newspaper and note who was at the party, and what they were doing with Juliet.
