Second semester is a great time to review your personal goals for Shakespeare after the busyness of the holidays. Sister Wilson and Sis. Darcey encourage you to continue your writing make-ups, your vocabulary turn-ins and Shakespeare!
As we mentioned in class, the challenge is to continue with Shakespeare studies and the reading/watching/listening to Shakespeare plays. Remember we have a great library available with books and video to choose from. CHECK IT OUT. Most of you are reading/watching/listening in diverse, imaginative ways apart from the original texts:
- movies,
- parent-assisted readings,
- downloads,
- Netflix,
- Manga Shakespeare and
- No Fear Shakespeare online and in book forms.
Tip for the Week: Family Time with Shakespeare -- Involve the whole group! Have a culture moment in your family evenings and take a moment to explain a Shakespeare story.
We have been impressed by the progress of students in the reading/watching/listening topic. Remember, if you find yourself loving one play, it can count as many as three times, if you read/watch/listen to it from three different sources. Immersion is the best way to learn to love the language of Shakespeare. This will help in your goal of 17 plays for CORONATION!
Aside: It is also true that seven plays are the number needed to pass off one of the TEN STEPS to Success at year end.
Study Skill: Teach a concept and you will able to remember 95% of what you learn.
Parent: Encourage Your Shakespearean to check this blog sight weekly for information about classes. This is one of the new skill techniques that are coming for our children. Colleges professors now make assignments online, outside of class that students must find and complete themselves.
