What makes Shakespeare relevant today? Why do we still view his plays and read his poems?
Please consider these guiding questions as you learn about William Shakespeare, performances at the Globe Theatre, and Elizabethan England, and Romeo and Juliet.
Learning Targets:
Today I will read articles, watch videos, take a virtual tour, capture my thinking, and sketch Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
So that I can learn about Shakespeare's life and begin imagining what it felt like to attend a play at The Globe Theatre in London during Shakespeare's time.
I'll know I'm successful when I add to my prior knowledge on this topic and can explain, with specific details, what makes Shakespeare relevant today.
Directions
As you watch the video, list some of the reasons we still read and view Shakespeare today in your notes (the assignment is posted in your teacher's Google Classroom). Be prepared to share your list with the class.
