Description

This is a New York State Regents-aligned student argument essay that asks students to take a side on Romeo and Juliet's relationship: Should they get married? Using 2 engaging and thought-provoking articles, students will debate the pros and cons of their marriage during or after reading the place. My students argued this after completing Act 2 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
