Hey Lit Lovers!
Just a reminder that April is Poetry Month and National Shakespeare Day is on April 23rd - the anniversary of both William Shakespeare's birth and death!
Celebrate verse and the Bard with this glorious Poetry Jumbo Bundle and Sonnet Writing Bundle for super fun and engaging reading/writing activities. (Students will love the Shakespeare Sonnet Insult Activity)!
You can also share these fascinating facts on Shakespeare:
1) Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, who was three months pregnant at the time.
2) Shakespeare’s parents were probably illiterate, and his children almost certainly were.
3) Shakespeare’s epitaph wards off would-be grave robbers with a curse.
4) Some people think Shakespeare was a fraud as there is a conspiracy that he didn't write his plays.
5) Shakespeare had seven siblings.
6) Shakespeare wore a gold hoop earring.
7) Shakespeare was a Catholic.
8) Females were not allowed to perform on stage during Shakespeare's time.
9) Shakespeare introduced 3,000 words to the English language.
10) Shakespeare was an actor as well a writer. In fact, he played the Ghost in ‘Hamlet.'
With Literacy Love,
