Shakespeare with Ms. McNear
Ms. Jana McNear, MileStone Academy’s English and Language Arts Teacher decided to expose our students to Shakespeare, which can challenge most students. They read Romeo and Juliet, each had a part, and every morning they read a section of the play and watched a portion of the 1996 film version of the play that coincided with what they read.
We continued the theme in art with Ms. Beth Shapiro, where each student created a personal coat of arms and a mask to represent their character.
Shakespearean language is not easy, but– they have PERSEVERED and have enjoyed the play.
