Why is Shakespeare still so important 401 years after his death?  What other artist has so thoroughly invaded every corner of pop culture?  

Shakespeare has been translated into at least 100 languages. According to britishcouncil.org, Romeo and Juliet was performed in 24 countries between 2006 and 2016.  There have been countless adaptations and interpretations in the form of movies, ballets, puppet shows, TV shows, cartoons, and of course, theatrical performances. 

In this 10 week course, among other topics, we will explore these questions:

Why has Shakespeare been translated into over 100 languages?
Why does this play continue to be performed and adapted around the world?
How did Shakespeare contribute to the English language?
What the heck is iambic pentameter anyway?
What does a play about love, lies, obsession, revenge, friendship, family loyalty,  bad decisions, and the high cost of "us vs. them" have to teach us in the 21st century?
What can we learn about making better choices from Romeo and Juliet?
Were they really in love, or was it just infatuation?
Did Taylor Swift ever even read the play before she wrote the song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xg3vE8Ie_E
(I will argue that she may have started but probably didn't finish.)
And why doesn't any production ever use the REAL ENDING Shakespeare wrote? 

Class time will be spent in reading and discussing the entire play, as well as supplementary work.  Homework will include watching clips online and writing responses (not summaries) to the work done in class.  The final project will be chosen by each individual student (in consultation with teacher) and might include writing, performance, artwork, parody, music, etc.

No background in Shakespeare is required.

I've been teaching this play to young learners since 2003. Though we will be having a lot of fun, this class will include some serious discussions about issues about violence and suicide, as well as decision-making and responsibility.
