Your ninth and tenth grades in English and Social Studies sound wonderful. It sounds like you had a very progressive curriculum with very talented, creative teachers. What great projects you did all throughout high school. I'm sure that your teachers loved you. I LOVE that Juliet survived in your version! How wonderful that you saw As You Like It in England! Wonderful responses to these prompts, Mariandrea. I really enjoyed this video!🥰
I loved hearing about your Shakespeare experiences! And yes teachers must hear and put up with a lot 😂 I remember watching the DiCaprio movie in the classroom, rolling in the tv and putting on a VHS that the teacher had rented 😂 And then I’ve seen The Tempest performed in Stockholm, I’m not sure why, but I think we went with my Latin class, or it might have been philosophy. Really not sure, but we went with the teacher that I had in both subjects. Anyway! That’s pretty much the extent of my Shakespeare journey, so I’m sorry but I won’t be doing this tag. Thank you for thinking of me though! I would have loved World studies class, that sounds so interesting, and all the teachers you mentioned sound so great! I also loved 10 things I hate about you 😊 There’s a book called Shakespeare was a woman and other heresies, by Elisabeth Winkler. I haven’t heard anyone talk about it but that one intrigues me, just for the taboo of it! I only know about it because her sister is a RU-vidr. It’s sounds really good when they describe it ^^
Hi Ellen, thanks for watching...and commenting. No worries, about not doing the tag. I had the same experiences with teachers showing movies on VHS with huge TV on a cart. :-) I have not heard of the book by Elisabeth Winkler....it sounds interesting.
Thank you for doing the tag! I was wondering which version of the R&J you watched in school--we did the older one and, as I said, the boys in the class immediately lost it over a brief flash of nudity. Hilarious in retrospect, but so annoying at the time!
Hi Melinda, in class, we watched the 1960s version with Olivia Hussey as Juliet...and yes...same reaction to Juliet in her dress. And yes,,,annoying in the moment but I can laugh at the silliness of our youth now that I look back.
Lol...nothing is wrong with British men. I guess I wasn't focused on dating...lol...I was seriously just trying to figure things out for myself. I smile fondly at all the lovely Brits I met along the way.
