This blog has come about because of a chance comment by one of my students. He said that he wished that there was somewhere he could go for ideas on how to teach Shakespeare to his class. I'm going to attempt one idea each day.

Shakespeare obituary
Bring in obituaries from the papers. Ask students to read an obituary and explain what job an obituary does and what the tone is.
Write Shakespeare's obituary. The style will depend on the paper that it is being written for.
