I was busy yesterday working and checking out neighbourhoods I may be moving to next year, so I missed Talk Like Shakespeare Day.
There’s a whole website with instructions on how to talk like Shakespeare here: http://www.talklikeshakespeare.org/
And get this free PDF poster by clicking through to http://www.talklikeshakespeare.org/res/TalkLikeShakespeare_Top10.pdf
I’ll be printing it out big and colourful for my next classroom.

Bard Chart of the Day: Shakespeare took his last breath 396 years ago today — but did we ever really lose him? Esquire columnist Stephen Marche, author of How Shakespeare Changed Everything, gives us a little perspective:
“Shakespeare is the foremost poet in the world. All of the scriptwriting books cite him as the dominant influence on Hollywood. He has had more influence on the novel than any novelist. The greater the artist, the more he or she was influenced by Shakespeare. Dickens and Keats were more inspired by Shakespeare than anybody, and their familiarity with Shakespeare seems to have made them more original, not less.”
