Mixing

I'm glad to hear that some of you studied MND in high school. Why DO we always learn R&J? I'm wondering if I could incorporate teaching method ideas into the R&J essay or maybe also the 5 Life Lessons essay...What if I entitled it as 5 Life Lessons to grab attention, and then make it only one of many points that explain how to teach it? Or why it's better that R&J? I think that's what got me on this topic in the first place, just that this Romance/Comedy covers some of the same adolescent themes (friendship, obedience to parents, love) but is more uplifting and inspiring that the R&J tragedy.
