Junior 6
This week in Junior 6 we have started to learn about William Shakespeare.
We briefly looked at his personal history, when and where he was born and how he built his own theatre in London. We discovered that you can even get soil from his birthplace! We then moved on to look at Romeo and Juliet, one of his tragedies, continuing the theme, which we started when looking at The Highwayman. We focused on the prologue to the play, tried to understand the language he used and thought about the rhythm and rhyme of the sonnet. We then looked at the rivalry between the Montagues and the Capulets and how they might have insulted each other back then in Verona.
