William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest playwright of all time, although many facts about his life remain shrouded in mystery. He lived during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I and coined hundreds of new words and phrases that we still use today.
His books can be quite challenging to read for grown-ups, never mind children! However, Andrew Matthews has rewritten a selection of his plays so that children can read and enjoy them. If you would like to read one of Shakespeare's plays, I have a selection in my office that you are welcome to borrow.
All I ask is that you have a really good go at reading one of the plays and post some information on my blog.
It can really help if you read a play in a small group so that you can help each other. You could find a quiet space in the playground or on the field to read at lunchtime perhaps.

ReplyDeleteI love william Shakespeare books and plays. I have a collection of his books. he is a creative man in the world. also I love the idea of the flags to tell every one what kind of play he is doing.
ReplyDeleteI like Shakespeare books. My favourite one is called The Taming Of The Shrew because it teaches you to be kind, otherwise you will get revenge.

The Taming of the Shrew
ReplyDeleteIt is about a man called Baptista who had 2 daughters. One of the daughters was called Bianca and the other one was called Katherina. They both had equal beauty but Katherina was a bad tempered lady who men called the Shrew. This story is about marriage. Katherina was double jealous because of her sisters beauty. One day Baptista was sick and tired of Katherina's complaining and announced that until Katherina was married his other daughter will be locked away in a cellar. A strong man called Petruchio wished to marry Katherina and fix her ways. At the end they both got married. THE END!!!
I read a book called Henry It was about henry finding about live
ReplyDeleteI think William shakesbear is very intresting
ReplyDeleteLast year in Year 4 Olympic Park I went on a trip to the William Shakespeare theatre . It was really interesting and the teacher asked me if I knew any of his books and I replied yes. She said to read more of his books because they can be challenging and thrilling too . I really like his books and encourage other children to read them too. GOOD LUCK
ReplyDeleteMr Wright have facts about William Shakespeare.
ReplyDeleteShakespeare lived to 52. It is known that he was born in April 1564 and that he died on 23rd April 1616. We know that he was baptised on 26th April 1564 and scholars now believe that he was born on April 23rd. He therefore died on his fifty-second birthday, coinciding with St George’s Day. How fitting that the great English writer is so closely identified with the patron saint of England.
Shakespeare was buried in the Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon. He put a curse on anyone daring to move his body from that final resting place. His epitaph was:
Good friend for Jesus’ sake forbear,
To dig the dust enclosed here:
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
That's all I know about Mr Wright

I think William Shakespeare is a fantastic playwright. His plays are amazing;I really like 'A lot ado about nothing' it is one of my favourites. In year 4 we visited the Globe Theatre. I was a great experience and I hope you think so too.

DeleteMr Wright as you see the William Shakespeare book was really good also the book I borrowed from you and it was called Richard it was interesting and it made me read all day and today I asked if I could read Romeo and Juliet and I'm really excited to read the book thank you from Maham khan .
ReplyDeleteHello Mr wright I love the William Shakespeare books because it teaches us to be kind to each other and it also tells us about the past and some of those William Shakespeare books can tell us about the future so it is very so fun to read those books now. My favourite two books to read are Romeo and Juliet because they teaches us about romance for when we grow up and about what can happen in the future so that is why my 1st favourite William Shakespeare book is Romeo and Juliet. My 2nd favourite book to read is jollier seers which Is also a William Shakespeare because it also teaches us about what can also happen in the future. Your sincererly by Jasleen kaur saund.
