Tragedy-
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare expands traditional notions of tragedy. He includes comic elements and gives the play a domestic setting.

Romeo and Juliet are not the conventional characters of tragedy: kings or mighty warriors. They are young, innocent and powerless. But in the portrayal of how their passion and vitality is needlessly destroyed, the play conveys the sense of loss and waste that is at the heart of all tragedy.

The entire play is cast as a tragedy, so one could argue that the entire thing was an example of tragedy. But if you needed to be more specific you could quote the moment when Juliet wakes to find that Romeo has commited suicide while she was sleeping.

That is when Juliet is saying:
"What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make die with a restorative. "
Kisses him

"Thy lips are warm. "

JULIET
"Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger! "

Snatching ROMEO's dagger

"This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die. "
She stabs herself, falls on ROMEO's body, and dies

That perhaps is the hight of tragedy as we realise that both must die, and in doing so it is the only way that they will ever truley be together.

Drama-
Im a bit unclear as to what you want by 'drama', as the entire play is filled with drama- and is often called a drama itself hence the term 'drama script'.

However you could take a different approach by talking of how Shakespeares use of the prologue creates hightened drama throughout the play, here are a few ideas you could touch on;

This is using the lines:
" From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife. "

Romeo and Juliet opens with a prologue announcing the story's star-crossed young lovers will die and their deaths reconcile their warring clans. Shakespeare opens his story by boldly announcing the climax of its plot. How can he get away with this? Because the better the storyteller, the stronger their understanding that a story is a journey. That a well-told story makes every step of that journey engaging and *dramatic*, more than the sum of its parts. Shakespeare can do what most inexperienced writers would be loathed to do -- give away his ending -- because what makes his story satisfying is a separate issue from the mechanical working out of its plot.

Further, by telling the audience the story's outcome, Shakespeare gives the story a poignancy it would lack otherwise. Knowing the lovers will die makes their every step toward that fate more deeply felt. This shows that*drama* is not only the anticipation of action, but the feelings and thoughts that anticipation arouses.

Soliloquy-
Act One Scene Five: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright (Spoken by Romeo)
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

And the meaning of said soliloquy is:
Romeo stared. She was so beautiful that she made the torches around the hall appear to grow dim. She was a dazzling jewel illuminating the dark night sky. She stood out from the other girls like a snowy dove in a field of crows. She ... Oh. he could never find the words to describe her. She couldn't be real: such beauty wasn't possible. 'I don't believe what I'm seeing.' he said aloud and pushed his mask right up to the top of his head to see better.

Aside-
Juliet, Act III
Scene V
[Aside] "Villain and he be many miles asunder.--
God Pardon him! I do, with all my heart;
And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart."
Juliet is mourning the banishment of her dear love romeo, but is struggling to keep this a secret frm her overwhelming parents. Instead they believe she is grieving most for her lost cousin Tybalt.

Hopefully this is what you are looking for. (=

An aside would be one of Romeo's lines while watching Juliet on the balcony before speaking to her "see how she rests her cheek upon her hand. O that I were a glove upon that hand that I might touch that cheek!"

Soliloquies are thoughts spoken aloud to help communicate feelings to the audience, like when Juliet is contemplating drinking the sleeping potion.

I'm not sure the distinction between "drama" and "tragedy" as your teacher defines them, but the last two lines indicate tragedy.
