My students love My Shakespeare. For some Ss, the Larry King style interviews help characters become real, dynamic.

And the song is catchy- I’ll hear them singing it under their breath.

A4: I’m in favor of one play each year in a ways that best connects with and responds to the needs of the Ss and community.

His works embedded in our language, art, politics, etc. and should not be overlooked.

Hag-Seed: William Shakespeare’s The Tempest Retold by Margaret Atwood is a fun read.

Polonius: What do you read, my lord?

Hamlet: Words, words, words.

Hamlet’s response was everything this snarky know-it-all 17 year old needed at the time. Shkspr has a line for any situation.

Teaching R&J to 8th grader was too much fun (thank you Set Free). Ss held a masked ball including a social dance. I was totally entertained.

The final staging of scenes was incredible and creative.

I agree. Any book is better than its movie, but this was a mess.
