Shakespeare och vetenskapliga metoder på engelskan Bakgrund Jag arbetar på samhällsvetenskapsprogrammet med beteendevetenskaplig inriktning och i mitt uppdrag ingår därför att förbereda mina elever för högre studier. Detta gör vi gemensamt på olika sätt här på Pauliskolan. Eleverna skriver till exempel ett gymnasiearbetsliknande arbete både i ettan och tvåan för att vara väl förberedda inför denna kurs i trean. Jag handleder också en läslyftsgrupp och i den har vi detta år valt modulen "Läsa och skriva text av vetenskaplig karaktär". Jag valde intervju som metod för miniundersökningen och det ämne jag valde att undersöka tillsammans med eleverna var hur jag lagt upp undervisningen kring Shakespeare på engelskan. Lektion 1 Jag inledde med en miniföreläsning på engelska om Shakespeares liv, tid och verk. Lektion 2 Denna lektion användes till att träna på innehållet. Jag hade valt en frågeställning som jag ville att eleverna skulle söka svar på med hjälp av intervjuerna. Lektion 3 Lektion 4 och 5 Lektion 6 Lektion 8

Shakespeare - Macbeth Scotland is at war, and has just won a great battle. Macbeth, a general in the Scottish army, is the hero of the battle. On his way home afterwards, Macbeth and his friend meet three mysterious witches. Somehow, the witches already know Macbeth’s name. Soon afterwards, Macbeth receives a message from Duncan, the king of Scotland. Macbeth’s wife, Lady Macbeth, soon hears about her husband’s success and the witches’ predictions. That night, while King Duncan is sleeping, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth make his guards drunk. But Macbeth is worried that his friends might become his enemies, and might want to kill him so that they can become king. Macbeth goes to see the witches again, who make more predictions. Lady Macbeth is tortured by the guilt of Duncan’s murder. In the meantime, King Duncan’s son Malcolm has actually organised an army in England to invade Scotland and punish Macbeth for killing his father.
Anti-Saloon League Museum | Westerville Public Library What was the Anti-Saloon League? From 1893 to 1933, the Anti-Saloon League was a major force in American politics. Influencing the United States through lobbying and the printed word, it turned a moral crusade against the manufacture, sale and consumption of alcohol into the Prohibition Amendment to the United States Constitution. Under the motto "The Saloon Must Go," the organization worked to unify public anti-alcohol sentiment, enforce existing temperance laws and enact further anti-alcohol legislation. At first, the League appealed to local churches to carry its message to the people. Once they had established a loyal following, the League leaders focused their efforts on getting individual politicians elected who supported the cause. The League was able to promote the temperance cause by publishing thousands of fliers, pamphlets, songs, stories, cartoons, dramas, magazines and newspapers. How can I find more information?
10 films you didn’t know were based on Shakespeare plays Shakespeare’s stories are so universal that almost any story built around starcrossed lovers or mistaken identities could be said to be based on Shakespeare. But there are many films that are actually directly based on Shakespeare, and we’re not just talking about the obvious adaptations like Romeo + Juliet. Here are some films that you might not have realised were Shakespeare adaptations. 1. 10 Things I Hate About You Okay, this is a pretty obvious one. Most people know that the story of one man being bribed to go out with a girl just so another guy can date her hot sister is taken pretty directly from The Taming Of The Shrew. However, the iconic moment where Heath Ledger serenades Julia Stiles is not from the play. 2. Shakespeare lends itself well to teen romances. Both the play and the film see Viola, in her male guise, falling in love with a man who is in love with her female self. 3. How to make Shakespeare’s violent tale of revenge suitable for a young audience…? 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Religion and the Founding of the American Republic | Exhibitions This exhibition demonstrates that many of the colonies that in 1776 became the United States of America were settled by men and women of deep religious convictions who in the seventeenth century crossed the Atlantic Ocean to practice their faith freely. That the religious intensity of the original settlers would diminish to some extent over time was perhaps to be expected, but new waves of eighteenth century immigrants brought their own religious fervor across the Atlantic and the nation's first major religious revival in the middle of the eighteenth century injected new vigor into American religion. The result was that a religious people rose in rebellion against Great Britain in 1776, and that most American statesmen, when they began to form new governments at the state and national levels, shared the convictions of most of their constituents that religion was, to quote Alexis de Tocqueville's observation, indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions.
