All Rise for the Honorable Judge (Mrs.) Cowan! 👩🏽⚖️
After reading the play Romeo and Juliet, Mrs. Cowan's 8th-grade English 1 students were tasked with an Inquiry-Based Learning Problem. Students conducted a trial in which they had to either proved that Friar Lawrence was guilty or innocent of negligent homicide regarding the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
