Before this English lesson, I have never done anything that has been related to Shakespeare which is why I would consider this week being the most productive week ever. Before I started my research, I can honestly say that the only thing that I know about Shakespeare is that he's famous, he's British and he has something related to Romeo & Juliet. However, after these few lessons, I felt that I have learned everything that I needed to know about him.
The thing that I found the most interesting about Shakespeare is found through the presentation and research that Kai Song and I did. We got the idea of researching deeper into Romeo & Juliet when we had this brainstorm session. The reason why we chose this is because we thought that if we did research a little bit more research on the play we would get to see the play in some sort of a different way.
As said before, I knew, NOTHING about Shakespeare before this. Watching others present was a little bit confusing and complicating because I couldn't hear most of them speak, but despite all that, I was still able to learn a lot of things. One being, I didn't know that the Globe Theatre even existed, and Two being, I thought that the believes of witches and wizardry was just in J.K. Rowling's and children's mind- I thought it was just something that only people in a far off fantasy land believed in.
Lastly, I think that as a class, our presenting skills are fine. Though I do think that we could benefit a lot from getting comfortable with presenting to the class and being confident while talking. Most of the presentations we watched so far had presenters who talked really softly and it was really hard to understand what they were presenting.
