I was absent today and Ms. Reed taught my classes. Students completed an activity in which they read a short story called The Drawbridge. Students then placed blame on different characters according to their actions. She then led an activity in which students ranked behaviors on their moral and ethical principles. The behaviors are those which characters will do in our upcoming play, Romeo and Juliet.
