We focused on Shakespeare's language today. Because Shakespeare wrote over 400 years ago, his version of English was much different from the way we speak today. This makes his plays difficult to understand (but not impossible).
To help, I introduced the website "No Fear Shakespeare" to students. This website has modern versions of the play side by side with the original. I advise all my students to READ THE NO FEAR VERSION OF SHAKESPEARE the night before we read that part in class. It will make it easier for you to understand the play.
I also designed a packet of worksheets for students to complete that will help them in understanding Shakespeare's language.
If you were absent today, get the packet of worksheets and complete it.
