Show transcript
'Romeo and Juliet' is a tragedy that raises themes around family, social obligations, love and conflict. We can use a piece of art like a play as a stimulus for a discussion. We can consider factual questions, discussion questions and philosophical questions raised by the play. Philosophical questions are questions that are not context-linked - they could be discussed without knowing the play. When debating, we build on others' answers and we disagree respectfully.
