| First,
get out the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet" and briefly read this
part. Ask students if they know what part this play came from and
ask student who wrote it. Then show the famous portrait of
the bard and tell them some interesting facts about him, such as how many
plays he wrote, where he lived, and examples of Middle English. Afterwards,
ask anybody if they have ever seen a movie or play that was originally
written by Shakespeare. Show an illustration of the Globe Theatre
and point out the different areas. Introduce the book and tell them
it's not only about Shakespeare but also about how people lived in the
1600's, as well as how people in modern society have helped this man to
still "live" through his works. ("Naomi Bates" <mira93@yahoo.com>) |
