Here in 8th grade honors English we have started the exciting journey that is reading Shakespeare!
Shakespeare writes in Modern English, just like we do! However his meter, cadence, and style can still seem foreign. I encourage students to use resources like No Fear Shakespeare to help them get through the reading on their own. Read through a "translated scene" and then the original to get the idea behind the words! Also, you can find the full text of Othello here!

Congratulations to Mel G., Amelia S., and Tori W. in 8th grade!! The title "English Star" is not one easily earned. These three young ladies exhibit positive attitudes about learning, are leaders in their class, and do exceptional work!
Amelia and Tori earned 100% grades on the first test in September, earning their names in lights. Mel earned her title by writing an outstanding essay (I hope she agrees to share it with you all as well.) Best, Ms. Archer Please take a look around the site for more content.
