Today's Learning Targets:
Today I will read and view a variety of sources, collaborate with peers, and play with Shakespeare's language,
In order to build on my prior knowledge of Shakespeare's life, times, language, and plays.
I'll know I'm successful when I can articulate what makes Shakespeare relevant today and add to my knowledge of Shakespeare's life, time period, language, and theatre.
What makes Shakespeare relevant today?
Why do we still view his plays and read his poems?
Take 5 minutes to independently find answers to the essential questions, listed above.
As you find answers, think of a word or phrase that encapsulates the reasons we still watch & read the works of Shakespeare.
Write the word of phrase HERE (note: this link will be added before class).
For example: If you read about how many words Shakespeare created that are now part of the English language, you might write one word - Language.
Contribute as many reasons as possible before the timer goes off.
