This is Wishbone doing Romeo and Juliet. It’s truly interesting how he keeps the story understandable while keeping the heart of the language he used alive.
Shakespeare for Kids
My high school English teacher brought me a special challenge: a way to teach Shakespeare to children. A serious question this brings up for me is, what is more important or practical the language of Shakespeare or the story telling structure?
I have done some initial research with mixed results. This is a question I am going to ponder for the next several weeks. I am taking on the project of creating a project pitch for a media project used to teach Shakespeare to Elementary School kids.
I think everyone knows that bullying is a problem, I’m just happy to see some programs specifically targeting kids.
Education for the Students
I am having a period in my higher education where changes are being made to OUR education. Teachers have to remember that the students are their first priority. Changes have to be made with the idea that they are improving the educational experience for the students. Too many people focus on the structure, accomplishing goals, passing tests. It’s wrong! Learning should be exciting and relevant and last throughout your life. Test scores don’t determine success. Finishing a class doesn’t mean that you remember what you learned. Teachers need to make their lessons last. Those are the teachers working for the students.
This is what we should be teaching our children
