Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal will return to Broadway to interpret the Bard. They will star in a revival of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Othello,” which opens in the spring of 2025. https://t.co/vz0wqz9jWf
@TalksWTeachers Also, stay focused on the skills that you are trying to develop in the students in the novel. Content is great and fun, but students can understand content on their own if they are taught the skills they need to do it.
Was once told "we teach students not books". Skills> Content
@TalksWTeachers Keep the energy up by moving through the book quickly. You can always go back to re-read and analyze, but get the book done. No one needs to be reading Of Mice and Men for 8 weeks. It just kills the novel and the class's enjoyment.
Today I noticed that the Folger's Shakespeare Library softcovers look suspiciously like cans of LaCroix. Here is a 🧵of pairings, starting with A Midsummer Night's Dream and a lovely can of fizzy lemon water.
