The Court of Shades
A soul stands before the judges of the dead. No mortal jury here — only three ancient judges, and a silence older than Rome itself. Somewhere in the shadows a verdict is already taking shape, and an old ferryman waits by the river to carry it wherever the judgment sends it.
Fully self-contained, self-grading, and ready in seconds — just open the file and go. Perfect for a no-prep substitute lesson, a Halloween-week activity, or a stand-alone review day. The capstone room of the series: the hardest vocabulary, the widest grammar range (active and passive, every tense through future perfect), and the final password in the whole Halloween set.
