We are starting the Shakespeare coursework soon, hopefully our teacher iwll pick a good play.

Erm.. i think it's okay but the thing i don't like about shakespeare is all the old english words.But some might argue that it makes the script/poem come alive :s

And i havn't started shakespeare yet, but should be soon.

No-one really likes Shakespeare even the english teachers hate to teach it. I do wish we could have it in modern english so we can understand what is being said and then have read it in ye olde english.

[Rarelime]

I must agree, because in year 9 MacBeth drove me and my english teacher crazy :o

I wish I was a bit more clever, set 1 got to do Twelth Night I think, But Set 2 didn't :( ah well now Set 2 has had better things to write our coursework on :)

We did Romeo and Juliet in Year 9. It was extremely boring and we went to the Workshop.

If I remember correctly you fell asleep in Macbeth most of the time...

We did Macbeth for SATS in yr 9, admittedly - i quite liked it. I did Romeo & Juliet coursework for GCSE and that was boring. I saw Macbeth at theatre, it was pretty good, personally i dont have much of a problem with old english.

DON'T SAY THAT Name, remember, I'm in scotland.

I really like the play personally - I read it in year 9 - and I LOVE the film.
Try watching it as it really helps you understand what goes on, although bits in it are different, your teacher should point the differences out to you :D
Good luck with it, I hope you enjoy it as much as i did, though I may have enjoyed it 'cause I'm a girl :p

Macbeth is ok, but not as good, harder to understand - really psychological - try the film again. ;)

You guys are Lucky.. I did Henry V in year 9 for my Sats.. Dear god that was confusing. I then did Macbeth in year 10.. I actually quite liked it, Althou soem bits are too funny for words. Romeo and juliet is a great play.. I never got to do it but We breifly did some in my As-levels.. so tragic.. Also the film isnt half bad.. :)

*points* Someone else who appreciates Shakespeare! ;)
