My students are English language learners. While they are growing in their English skills, they still struggle sometimes, especially with wording as complex as Shakespeare! They would greatly benefit from being able to read Shakespeare with these side-by-side modern-day and original Shakespeare texts. They love to read plays and reading out loud is great practice for them! We are reading Hamlet this year and they will have a much easier time grasping the material if it is written in modern-day language. They are excited to read such a famous play! When we finish reading the play, I am going to try to take them to see a Shakespeare play in our city so they can experience this on stage as well!
