Dear class/Professor Burton,

This class has changed the way I think.

And I love school for that reason.

Thanks to my fellow students. You guys are awesome. It was great to learn your stories.

Thanks to Professor Burton. You are truly a genius.

Thanks to the tech people. The world is changing. And I'm glad I could take part.

Thanks to Shakespeare: I hope there is always room for you on my stage of life.

It's been real. It's been fun. It's been real fun.

Until next time, chloe-michelle

Dear Sarah,

I'M SORRY! It's like 45 minutes before the final presentation and I'm just getting this up. Totally my bad!

1. Gain “Shakespeare Literacy.”
   Demonstrate mastery over fundamental information about Shakespeare’s works, life, and legacy
• Breadth
• Depth  After math of class

• Legacy :) Awesome Shakespeare goes to devotional Oh the things you can find on the internet.... OH! I forgot: 
2. Analyze Shakespeare Critically
   Interpret Shakespeare’s works critically in their written form, in performance (stage or screen) and in digitally mediated transformations. This includes
• Textual analysis (theme, language, formal devices) Themes for our Lost Play Levels of Thematic Analysis: for our would-be-play Lear. King Lear.
• Contextual analysis (historical, contemporary, cultural) 
• Application of literary theories BREIF Life-Theme-Analysis of the Tempest!
• Analysis of digital mediations I FREAKING LOVE SHAKESPEARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm 4 years old at heart...
3. Engage Shakespeare Creatively
• Performance (memorization, recitation, scene on stage or video)
• Individual creative work (literary imitation, art, music, etc.)READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO
• Collaborative creative project Project Idea #2 Project Idea #1 (Because this is still the best)
4. Share Shakespeare MeaningfullyThis includes engaging in the following:
• Formal Writing. Develop and communicate your ideas about Shakespeare clearly in formal and researched writing.Well THAT wasn't so bad.
• Informal Writing. This mainly means through regular online writing
• Connecting. Share one’s learning and creative work with others both in and outside of class. Shakespeare goes to Psych class
5. Gain Digital Literacy
   Students use their study of Shakespeare as a way of understanding and developing fluency in 21st century learning skills and computer-mediated modes of communication. Those skills are grouped under the following categories.
1. Consume - Effective and independent selecting, searching, researching, woa
2. Create - Producing content that demonstrates learning and which can be shared for others to profit from. Chosen quote from M.o.Venice
3. Connect - Engage with other learners within and outside of the class to develop thinking and share more formal work The Tempest

That's about it, Thanks Sarah!
