Rational: I think that Shakespeare is one of the world’s greatest psychologists. All of his plays touch upon universal themes and issues that are worth being explored in the classroom and I want to help make the themes relevant to the students. Studying Shakespeare gives students a chance to explore the English language with more detail and hopefully in a manner that is fun for the students. It is also important for students to work with Shakespeare’s texts because of his exceptional mastery of the English language; the more the students come to understand the words, the puns, and references, the more they can enjoy reading and acting out the scenes. Acting out parts of a play and studying the why’s and how’s of human action and motivation is also a valuable part of our student’s education.
