Hold a trial for the main character of the play if he is a tragic hero or the antagonist. In the case of Romeo and Juliet an inquest could be held.
Students take on the parts of the judge, lawyers for the defence and prosecution (a coroner is required for Romeo and Juliet) and also the parts of the surviving characters. Each one prepares their role. Teachers may wish to create a set of cue cards and prompts to help students prepare. When they have done this they can then hold the trial to explore the guilt of the characters involved and the way each character has their own part to play in the outcome.
Encourage learners to use quotes from the play.
