I personally would like to include a play in each class I teach.

I think life goes on even with no Shakespeare (given of course other great art takes its place), and a lot of Shakespeare in the curriculum is also really good. So roll with the culture of your school. The fact that I’ve taught in a lot of different schools probably shapes this opinion.

A photo of a piece of paper of student work. The paper is divided into four quadrants, and each square shows a pencil sketch of an image from a scene of Shakespeare’s a Midsummer night’s dream.

Best experience was creating graphic novels. Ss had to pick 3 moments to tell the complete story (learning how to edit) and draw using film techniques.

Of late it’s become Hotspur’s line from 5.2 of Henry IV Part 1: “An if we live, we live to tread on kings.”

Also always loved the flies to wanton boys line from Lear.

It was more about building communities around reading than improving reading skills (though I do think practice helped kids get better). I integrated it with tech instruction in 4th grade. We used Google sheets to track books we had finished and the class celebrated when a new book was added.

Improve a first line by substituting Mrs. Dalloway.

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover Mrs. Dalloway.

With ranks, if you combine pitchers and hitters using fangraphs auction calculator and sort by price, you get Skubal as a pick 2 or 3 overall (depending on parameters), yet no one has Skubal as a first rounder in a general snake draft rank? What’s the difference?

This is what’s baffling to me. Any thoughts on what they think the end game is?
