Shakespeare

Before we started the activity I had already read about Shakespeare and his life. 
Facts I already knew:
-He wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets.
-His last words.
-Where he lived.
-His wife's name.
-The theatre he worked in.
We got a few right but we got the dates wrong. I've learnt about some of his past life, his father's job and the names of some plays. I think that this game improved our knowledge of shakespeare.

New Years

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."


I chose this quote as my favorite quote for new year because of the phrase "Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves." It makes new year seem like a fresh start.


Now a picture that stuck in my mind from last year was the picture of Gaddafi lying dead. It stuck in my mind because there were many people crowding him and taking pictures. I thought this was a terrible thing to do as the dead should be respected and buried in a proper funeral. I don't think I should post the picture as it is really gruesome.
