"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Teenagers have been
sighing an approximation of these words for centuries, ever since
William Shakespeare had Juliet utter them from her balcony in one
of the most popular plays of all time, Romeo and Juliet. Tales of
love, loss, rebellion, rivalry--before there was Twilight, Warm
Bodies, and The Lion King, there was Shakespeare. The characters,
language, imagery, and plot elements of many books and movies that
appear on bookshelves and in cinemas today are directly influenced
by the plays of the Bard. In Shakespeare: Investigate the Bard's
Influence on Today's World, readers discover links between the
books, movies, and music they listen to today and the words that
were written and acted out more than 400 years ago. Readers
deconstruct Shakespearean themes, imagery, language, and meaning by
finding familiar ground on which to gain literary insight. Through
hands-on projects such as coding a video game based on one of
Shakespeare's plays to rewriting a scene in the text language of
emoji, readers find compelling avenues into the dramatic, sometimes
intimidating language, leaving them well-equipped to tackle any
major text in the academic years to come.
