Enjoying Shakespeare

Yesterday was a day of ups and downs, but the highlight has to be my girl 11 coming to me admitting to enjoying her Shakespeare studies. She is reading through Lambs and narrating/documenting the plot and the characters. She thinks it hilarious that the Bard keeps having his characters dressing up as guys, or changing their names and appearance so that they are someone else.

She's getting good at putting together diagrams of her narrations to - word webs that connect the ideas and show who is affecting who in the story. That's an achievement since when we were dong these last year she was getting very confused.

I found this link of art works based on Shakespeare plays - we will explore it further together next time she is reading one.



My Engineer has been working well for Dad - he is writting much better narrations and through Dad's insistance working on his spelling. With Dad the thrid day's halfheartedness ended up in a lot of extra work for my dear son wich has to be a good thing.
