All the world's a stage...

Time to study Shakespeare!  On Monday, students wrote simple conversations with a partner and then modified them to become more Shakespearean.  This was an effort to make the language more accessible.  On Wednesday, we will watch videos with biographical info on Will Shakespeare and explanation of Iambic Pentameter.  After the videos, we will read a few scenes from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," paying particular attention to the staging.  Homework will be to translate Jacques' All the World's a Stage speech from "As You Like It" into modern, student speak language.
