BATTLE
in
VERONA
Simulation for Extra Credit
Updated: 5/24/07

Students are divided into competing teams
The classroom is physically set up into 3 neighborhoods (U shaped seating arrangement).
Various team challenges are set each week. Each team supplies respective readers,
i.e. the Capulets supply a Juliet, Nurse, etc. and receive points for expressive reading.

a) Frequent team Challenges* simulate the conflicts in Verona which are point opportunities (including citizenship) for Extra Credit
b) Montagues assign and assume all Montague parts, same with Capulets and Peacemakers
c) Citizenship disruptions as well as bathroom/water privileges are regarded as town problems and results in "traffic tickets" (demerits from Extra Credit Points)
