What educators are saying
My students loved this resource! Not only hearing the original sonnet, but then putting it into our everyday vernacular was really eye opening for them! Thanks for such a fun activity!
I use this lesson when I teach Midsummer Night's Dream. It helps the students become more familiar and confident with Shakepearean English - and the pictures are fun.
