Here you can read the interlinear text, with Shakespeare's original on the left, and a contemporary translation on the right. It's very helpful, but it's NOT a substitution for the original! Keep that in mind as you are surfing the summaries of the sections :)
For our journal today, we responded to the following prompt:
William Shakespeare's plays feature sexual situations and references, violence, gore, and profanity. His plays are widely taught in schools throughout the country. Many movies today have the same features. Why do you think there are restrictions on attending movies with these features but you can read Shakespeare's plays in school?
We also took Benchmark 2.
