Every English teacher on the planet is doing a nerdy little mental dance today to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday. Students everywhere are subject to mini-lessons that aim to remind them of the bard's masterful wit and wisdom, featuring common phrases we owe to his writing and terrific insults we should be keeping alive. I always used to put my favorite Shakespeare joke on whatever the classwork of the day was.
There's something so powerful about the fact that his works have remained so relevant and such a fixture in English classrooms across the globe. That the characters and the themes and the language haven't gotten old (not a day over 450!), and that students are still able to connect with them.
Also. How lovely is this type by Allie Brunton?
