We are reading Hatrack Romeo and Juliet in class. (Take a look at Hatrack Taming of the Shrew.). The kids take parts. Remember our class is meeting remotely. Acting out parts really brings the play to life. Purists will disagree with my choice to use Orson Scott Card’s interpretations and No Fear Shakespeare for Brit Lit. Fine. I want the teen’s to both experience and understand Shakespeare with more modern language. The kids are working independently to compile character analyses, Elizabethan timelines, a list of quotes, and another list of ten insults. One on-going project is to write their favorite quotes on a found object. See the quote pig below and examples below. So far, we are having a ball.
