Our class has begun work on a production (to take place at some unspecified point in the future) of Shakespeare's
As You Like It. I firmly believe that students should be introduced to Shakespeare much earlier than high school, since it is rather like learning a new language: best done young. Thus far, we have acted the play through once without Shakespearian dialogue; I told the story, the kids acted it out. Today we began using an abridged version of the script, and we'll be working our way slowly through over the next few weeks. Here are some rehearsal pictures:
