The Dark Lord Cometh

Post by MedicWilson »

I knew there was a reason I became English teacher...and now I finally have my answer:

"William Shakespeare's Star Wars" by Ian Doescher



Move over "Romeo and Juliet", say goodbye "Macbeth".

Now to just convince the head of English to purchase a class set.

They tried making Shakepeare into comic books ("grpahic novels") not long ago, and that didn't work either ... it's still just boring, incomprehensible drivel that teachers have to force most students to read. ;)

You can't really experience Shakespeare until you've read him in the original Klingon!

Seriously though, I think such exercises are kind of fun. Are you going to get a copy? Let us know what it's like if you do.

Notice the winking smiley on my original post ... it was a joke.
