=Manteo  High School   = Shakespeare’s time to better understand the play. After reading the play, students apply the themes and issues within the play to modern life, and they work on solutions to age-old problems, such as communicating with parents, combating hate crimes/violence, and preventing suicide. Students work in teams to make plans and products targeting their chosen issues to positively impact their communities. Each team researches the current needs and resources of the community, and determines a course of action.  ||  || Evaluating, Analyzing  ||  || <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8.5pt;
