The Bard

Shakespeare Club. Two weeks so far. Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet. Next week we will read through Much Ado About Nothing as well as see a live performance of the same, Richard III, and a modern take on The Tempest called Return to the Forbidden Planet.

This has been fun for us. The kids seem to love reading these well penned words outloud with one another. It certainly makes the play come to life. Reading them alone, I tend toward sleepiness, but not once have my eyelids been tempted when enjoying the lines with them.

This may be something I attempt again another year. After all, five Shakespeare and several sonnets look great on those quarterly reports! Could I say that English is done for the year? I wonder if that would fly with those superintendents? :)
