Let’s start Shakespeare!

 The Brit Lit class just started Shakespeare.  Here is the slideshow with assignments.  Each kid was reading a different play.  I made a decision to read Romeo and Juliet in class.  I need to teach what I know.  I know Romeo and Juliet pretty well.  The class is creating timelines, writing Shakespearean insults, andnoting expression still commonly used today.  We’ll do character analyses, too.  The links are in the slideshow.  We’re reading Orson Scott Card’s script adaptation of Romeo and Juliet first and using this website, which has notes and definitions, to read the original play.  The class is acting out the play.  Hopefully, this process will help us tackle Shakespeare and still have some fun.
