From November of 2012 through early March of this year, I
taught Shakespeare's Richard II, Henry IV Parts 1 & 2, and Henry V to my sixteen-year-old son Noah and another
homeschooler, Nathan. At the end of
Henry V, I gave the boys their choice of one of three final projects: writing
an essay, taking a written test, or staging a scene from one of the plays. They chose the latter, and below is their
effort. Please invest ten minutes and
look at their work. Enlisting the aid of
their brothers and sisters, and with no help from any adults (except for taxi
service to the set), these boys planned, choreographed, filmed, and edited the
final battle from Henry IV Part I. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with
their work. It is a pleasure to see two
high school students enjoy Shakespeare this much! Direct your comments to Noah and Nathan,
please. This is all their work.

Lol that was awesome! My 6- and 8-year-old boys watched it with me. Great job.
Your dad probably knows about this already since it's right up his alley, but in case he doesn't, have you guys ever seen "The Three Little Pigs Shakespearean Style?" It's hilarious. I forget the comedian's name, but if you go to YouTube and search for "Three Little Pigs Old English" you're sure to find it.
Thanks for the tip on the Three Little Pigs. That was funny! Noah enjoyed it, too.
Hehe thought you'd enjoy that. :)
