there is nothing like a teacher who really knows how to teach....When I went to The Tempest in Stratford upon Avon I was very glad I had read the play (thanks to drama teacher)...it was amazing to watch...and even better knowing a bit about it even if it had been a few years...(many few)
me too, nancy.. i feel particularly blessed that all in all i had 3 maybe 4 teachers who were particularly good at teaching shakespeare over the years. i would have never understood it without them. a good teacher is a wonderful thing. i urge anyone who has not taken a fresh look at shakespeare to try again even if you need to do it with cliff notes standing by.
in Jr High we did some of Shakespeare's sonnets and in high school English read a couple of his plays...I had amazing teachers that taught it well and inspired me to read more of his work....
there is really nothing better than shakespeare. it's beautiful, it's funny, it's touching.....the only issue is not being afraid of it.
Want to get some Folger Shakespeares. I enjoy learning the phrasing, puns and wordplays in Shakespeare's writing as much as the drama.
elle! so happy you are here!!
I am currently doing a reread - Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. It's #6 in her Oulander series. I finally got #7 and it had been so long since I read the other books, I wanted to refresh my memory. Very well written; very well researched. A bit of fancy (involves time travel) but SO well done that you can almost believe it's possible!
so glad you're here, nancy. we're only as strong as the involvement on wiffledust. i'd like to see everyone come regularly. fb isn't even nice to us!
saw all the emails with comments from this group and decided it was time to get back here..I read for entertainment and have found a few recommendations here in the past...will try bookbub....
in last few weeks I have read several books ...just finished Bald in the land of big hair by Joni Rodgers....true story of her journey through cancer..some funny bits and of course some hard bits...
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey was very good as was Winter of the world by Ken Follett.second in the series that started with Fall of Giants ...would recommend all of those...
hi, marycharles! glad you're here!
