First of all, happy new year to one and all! One of my resolutions is to make sure that I am updating our site a bit more frequently!
Some of the greatest words ever to be put to paper came from the hand of one man: William Shakespeare! Now, as you roll your eyes (much like the kids did), we're going to tackle this from a different angle. While we are going to look at the best ways to read and comprehend Shakespeare, we're not going to use a piece of Shakespeare to do it! Starting next week, we're going to look at a Shakespearean adaptation of one of the greatest stories ever told: Star Wars! Ian Doescher has brilliantly taken the story we all know and (should) love and rewritten it to fit into the prose and style of William Shakespeare. I hate to say it, but this story just might be a little more entertaining than some of William Shakespeare's original ideas. By taking a look at this work, the students will have a better grasp of how to approach Shakespeare, which will help them when it's time to read Shakespeare in their LA classes. Next week, we travel to a time of long ago, to a galaxy far from that of which we know. Until then -- - Mr. Mazzuca
