Ask the students to take any of the scenes in the play and show how the scene mirrors human nature, especially young people today.  A favorite it seems is the fact that Juliet tells her parents she is going to shrift (confession) and it is a bare faced lie which enables her to meet Romeo at Friar Lawrence's cell.  The students seem to be able to know first hand the similar dodges of their peers to parents who forbid encounters with certain members of the opposite sex. 

Also the exuberance of the first meeting and the hyperbole and sonnet about the pilgrim and shrine bring out some interesting essay on lines that boys often feed unsuspecting girls.
