Cool I’ll check it out. I love Shakespeare, I’ll look into that. I still never read hamlet so I bought it recently. Plus have the complete works. So no excuse.
We read Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and MacBeth. I’m lucky I went to high school when they still read Shakespeare. I’d hate to see what they read now.
Ha! MacBeth is my favorite by Shakespeare
I read some version of the Merchant of Venice in jr. high! I'd imagine very few young people are familiar with Shylock (unfortunately).
Had Romeo and Juliette and Macbeth in high school, same curriculum company I had for jr high.
Because of switching high schools and the like, I wound up taking Romeo and Juliet three bloody times. The second time was the most educational, though; the teacher actually knew his subject (a master's degree teacher vs a teaching school teacher.)
Half the teachers with masters degrees have their masters in education, which is a big joke (I have like half the classes needed for one too). Not saying your teacher wasn't good, and I'm ignorant of what masters he had.
Ok, he did have a master's in English. I assumed it would be understood that the master's degree would be in the relevant fucking subject, rather than someone who was just taught how to teach (ie, your "master of education" critter.)
LOL!!!!!!!!!! Most American kids going through the public school system can barely read.
Ah, the timeless Hispanic classic ;)
Somebody has to to get this made into a movie!
I was assigned Richard the Third in 9th or 10th and it unironically turned into one of my favorite books I had read. Read it for fun maybe 20 times before I graduated.
These days people will be lucky if they get the non woke version of The Lion King instead.
