SHAKESPEARE, THE BARD OF ENGLAND!
As most of us in our class, we wanted to show that as Ben Jonson (1572-1637) once said `Shakespeare was not of an age but for all time’. We concentrated on whether we should deal or not with Shakespeare’s works in the classroom. We found two main reasons. On the one hand, we believe that Shakespeare is still popular and famous since his stories are universally constant what means that they appeal to us despite the many years that separate us from him. With our glogster, we proved that Shakespeare is still present everywhere both in our daily lives and in fiction, as Disney’s movies depict. On the other hand,Shakespeare has created a lot of the English we use today. Even though, sometimes even we are not aware of that he has contributed a lot of new words and phrases to the English language.Finally, as a conclusion we chose to add a video which explains in a more academic language why and how we should work with Shakespeare’s works. We hope you enjoy it! Florencia and Julieta.
Even if I can not appreciate the poster here I was lucky to see your presentation in class and I liked it very much. I have to tell that the choice of pictures was very nice and the video, as you said, reinforces your conclusion.
ReplyDeleteI have embedded the glog and also uploaded an image of it in case the glog gets deleted
