Hopefully.). One of my favorite experiences was actually in high school where we could do "student teaching" for credit. I was the only one who knew they wanted to do high school not elementary (or so I thought, ha!) so they made an exception and as a junior and a senior I was allowed to "student teach" freshman language arts each year. All of that is the set up to say: Romeo & Juliet was my favorite unit to "teach" too :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397176667036107115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-23630317800369488652011-06-28T19:38:30.371-04:002011-06-28T19:38:30.371-04:00Delurking for the first time (I found your blog ag...Delurking for the first time (I found your blog ages ago through one of the SUYL posts at Kelly's Korner...I've long forgotten which one) to say that I LOVE your ideas for Romeo and Juliet.<br /><br />I am also an English teacher who's not really a fan of Shakespeare - and I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one! I've taught Hamlet and Macbeth, but never R&J. I told one of my classes that Hamlet was essentially the story of The Lion King, and for the rest of the unit, I got questions like, "So wait...Scar is married to Hamlet's mom?"<br /><br />Your teaching philosophy sounds a lot like mine, too. Why teach if you don't love it?Lyndseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798324477499514351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-71373019358094078102011-06-28T16:56:32.917-04:002011-06-28T16:56:32.917-04:00Thanks :) I also love to teach Romeo and Juliet--...Thanks :) I also love to teach Romeo and Juliet--we may have to discuss.<br /><br />Your philosophy and mine are similar. It always shocks me that there are people who just don't enjoy what they do--especially since I love it so much.TheHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532270244428320414noreply@blogger.com
