NCTE+2.2

**NCTE Standard 2.2**

//"Uses ELA extensively and creatively to help their students become more familiar with their own and others' cultures."//

In reference to this standard, I have included a link to an activity that students can do as a theme-opener before they begin reading //Romeo and Juliet.// This activity demonstrates to students that the people of Shakespeare's time had thoughts and feelings that are very similar to our modern-day culture.
