Alexa is required to read a Shakespeare and a modern play to complete 10th grade requirements for Florida. We perused a list of Shakespearean plays of which she has read/studied two. This was a great opportunity for her to see his works and read some summaries while deciding which we would select. The "winner" is The Tempest. I loved this play in undergrad work. We then researched and chose a modern play by Agatha Christi because Alexa loves mysteries. Various literary tidbits emerged through this research, think, deciding time! Alexa is to read more of The Book Thief before next Tuesday, and to study vocabulary words.
