What I learned in Shakespeare this year...

I LEARNED...
1.  Chance refuses to except a one last breath, before a person dies.
2. Shakespeare talks super dirty... A ton!
3. I still can't get in front of people to do a prepared speech/ recitation.... even with being in speech and drama!
4. Elizabethan food is definitely interesting...
5. exactly how perverted our class is
6. Techno and a strobe light on the smart board is how a dance party should be during school!
7. Apricocks was THE single word that everyone tried to keep a straight face when said, but a burst of laughter roared through the room... each time it was said!
8. Queen Elizabeth was ruler for 6 years before Shakespeare was born.
9. That Shakespeare's plays modified to more modern times, are odd... the wording doesn't fit the surroundings, but it definitely makes you think more about it.
10. and finally the fact that there are plenty of movies made recently that are based on Shakespeare's life/ or play plots.

This Semester was GREAT! Miss Perkins isn't shy and is super fun and our class is pretty fun to be around.
