Continuing Shakespeare - Mia Smith I ett tidigare blogginlägg berättade jag om hur jag introducerat Shakespeare till mina elever i år 7 och 8. Arbetet har fortlöpt, och här tänkte jag presentera ytterligare några bitar. Shakespeare your way Den här uppgiften är den, enligt mig och många av mina elever, mest spännande inom det här arbetsområdet. Eleverna fick inspiration från ett Tedx Talk om att tolka Shakespeare inom hiphip-genren och en låt av Taylor Swift baserad på Romeo and Juliet. Eleverna hittade snabbt olika spår och klurade på olika tekniska lösningar för att se hur man kan gestalta den klassiska berättelsen på olika sätt. Resultaten kommer inom kort, och i den mån jag får tillåtelse av eleverna kommer jag dela med mig av dem här. En länk till uppgiften hittar ni här. A peek at the original Parallellt med det ordinarie arbetet har jag med mindre grupper tittat på en bit av originaltexten för att få syn på hur språket ser ut. Romeo + Juliet Kahoot Quizlet Live Så var vi klara med vårt Shakespeare-tema.
