Students of the 10th grade had a joint on-line lesson with the students of Friedrich Ebert Gymasium on the great Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet". The German and Ukrainian students presented the characters in turn. Our German partners suggested a new for us interactive technique - interviewing the characters of the tragedy. Though the answer to the main question of the on-line lesson "Could the tragedy of the two lovers be avoided?" was not found, the Genius of Shakespeare was appreciated by everybody.
