We're starting our unit on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" today. All this week, I'll be providing background to the play and getting students ready to read it. We'll start the actual reading next week.
I’ll give a short presentation on Shakespeare. (You can view this presentation at http://prezi.com/4iqxureacf8l/why-study-shakespeare/)
We will then read an introduction about Shakespeare from our textbook, pages 478-481. We’ll watch a video called “Why Shakespeare?” It’s a documentary by the National Endowment for the Arts, all about how studying and performing Shakespeare has changed people’s lives, from Tom Hanks to a fifteen year old boy living in San Francisco.
Finally, we'll have a short quiz on what we learned today.
If you missed today's class, take a look at the presentation. Read the textbook pages. Learn all about Shakespeare. Then, see me so you can take the quiz.
