Shakespeare on YouTube?

January 14th, 2010

Remember our cool post about the rapping math teacher? Turns out others are hopping on the music bandwagon when it comes to understanding tough subjects. Here’s another awesome video making its rounds on YouTube.

Shakespeare’s plays can be difficult to understand, even for those who love him (like me.) That’s why I think it’s great when English teachers help their students find a way to relate to the Bard’s works.

Ms. Meredith Szewchuk, a 10th grade English teacher at Toronto’s York Mills Collegiate Institute, is one such teacher who encouraged her students to really connect with Macbeth, Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. And connect they did. The above video was made by Terry He, one of Ms. Szewchuk’s former students. Pretty cool, eh?
