Bellport Middle School eighth grade ELA teacher Lisa Ditta is using AI to engage her students in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” As part of the school’s AI program, students interact with AI to ask and answer questions to gain a deeper understanding of the play. The AI provides differentiated learning based on student skill level and assists with student understanding by connecting aspects of the play to modern-day times. For example, AI relates the Montagues’ and Capulets’ dispute to a baseball game against rival teams. Finding that students are enjoying the program, Ditta plans to use it in future book studies.
