Young Scholars: Shakespeare

Peace Lutheran Academy invites home schooling students to study the life and times of William Shakespeare through the study of A Midsummer Night's Dream, with special attention given to the crafting of Shakespeare's verse and the language of his day. After understanding Shakespeare's background and the play's origins, students read the play in parts, discussing Shakespeare's use of biblical and classical allusions, including other literary elements. Students conclude their Shakespearian study with a formal essay. Classes meet from 1-2 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays from Feb. 11 to March 20
