Bobby is working on writing a report on the life of Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Theatre. Today, we continued conducting online research on Shakespeare's life in the prestigious Folger Library in DC. Bobby then began drafting the first section of his report based on the biographical research. I noted that we actually know very little about the details of Shakespeare's life which has given rise to speculation that Shakespeare did not actually author the plays that bear his name. In that regard, we examined his early schooling in Stratford-upon -Avon, and discussed why most scholars, based on that school's curriculum ,generally concur that Shakespeare likely acquired the knowledge and skill requisite to become the most famous playwright in the English language while a student in Stratford, his hometown. . Bobby drafted paragraphs on Shakespeare's schooling, his parents, and his marriage to Ann Hathaway. For homework, he is continuing the report by writing about Shakespeare's London life as a playwright and actor . Next week ,we will continue our research and writing on this project culminating in watching portions of "Romeo and Juliet" performed in London in a recreated Globe Theatre so that Bobby can see what an Elizabethan audience would have experienced .
