At La Salle we worked with two of the main writers  of all time: Shakespeare and Cervantes.

We worked Cervantes using Spanish and Shakespeare using English.

Shakespeare activity:

How did it start?

First of all the students watched a PowerPoint about the life of Shakespeare, his work and some conspiracy theories about his life.

What task  did the students have to do?

At the end of the presentation the students were divided in groups of 4. Each group had to work with some of the most famous phrases of Shakespeare’s work, and look for some information: from what play did it come from? What did it mean? What was the play about? Who were the main characters? And finally print a photo that represented the play.

After that, each group explained to the other groups what they had learnt and then they wrote the phrases and pasted the pictures in the corridor.

At the end we checked the similarities and differences between the two authors.
