 Level B:   Romeo and Juliet - Parallel Universe  
                        Students use a simple simulation to explore "what if" questions relating to characters. They can change how characters behave to consider whether a story might have emerged differently.  
                        Note that students do not need to read the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet in order to explore the simulation.

                        - Represent and interpret data on a line graph.
 
                        -  Create conditions that produce specific relationship dynamics.
 
                        - Describe a loop of feelings between two characters.
 
                        - Identify and describe other types of relationships that oscillate in a similar fashion.

                      Student Challenge: 
                        
                          - Create different scenarios for the relationship between Romeo and Juliet – one that they perceive as matching the original story dynamics and others that are variations.
