This week we will use our Google ninja skills to research facts about Shakespeare's life, the Globe Theater, and Elizabethan England. You will conduct your research in teams of four. The following day you will use those interesting discoveries to compete in "The Circle of Knowledge Game".
Here is a look at the lesson we will be learning today about language in Shakespeare's time, more specifically insults!! This should be fun ;) Here is the link to the Ted-Ed video we will be watching http://ed.ted.com/lessons/insults-by-shakespeare#watch We will then flex our own language skills with a fun mixing/matching page with insults taken directly from the play Twelfth Night.
*Just added to the classroom:
"Wall of Shame" a place to write one Shakespearean insult a day per class ;) Come and have a look!
