Hamlet, Lear, …

Okay not really but they should have to at least watch Hamlet once.

Books that I love *now* didn’t make much sense in school so I struggle with this.

We did one Shakespeare a year from G9 on. Not many novel studies as a result. - Reagen Oct 27, 07:58 3
- We did as well growing up. Pretty sure the same 4. -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 08:08 2
  - We added Othello and Lear into ours. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 08:23 1
    - I would have like MacBeth or Lear over R&J or MSNsD - Reagen Oct 27, 08:26
As much as I don't get the Shakespeare love, it would be deficient to not assign at least one in high school I figure. -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 07:57 9
- I'm the same way, I question if high schoolers can really comprehend the depth of his work until later, making that study inefficient. - Max Oct 27, 09:21
- I don't remember reading much more than one or two from him. I know we read Hamlet and we might have also read A Midsummer Night's Dream. -- nm - Krusty Oct 27, 08:28
- AND NOT EFFING ROMEO AND JULIET - spamlet Oct 27, 07:58 6
  - Oh man. We read out all ours. With assigned roles and everything. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 07:59 5
    - How does it work? -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 08:07 4
      - ...not well. Or did you mean the mechanics of it? - Reagen Oct 27, 08:13 3
        
        The IM. Is it more understandable than reading it? -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 08:17 2
        
        a little. It didn't really click in until we watched filmed versions. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 08:21 1
