Reading, speaking, and writing are three very important things we do on a daily basis. Shakespeare contributes a huge role in how we use these three things today and how we will use them. Most high school students do not enjoy reading shakespeare, but what if I told you it should not be removed from the curriculum and should remain in high
to my attention that some people in the crowd here tonight believe that Shakespeare is a timeless classic… hahaha what a joke. Tonight I am here to prove that it is out dated and simply… boring. I Larnie Ginn, the first speaker on behalf of the affirmative team am here tonight to argue that the 2011 movie ‘Gnomeo and Juliet’ directed by Kelly Asbury is way sicker and slicker then the original 1968 version. It is Shakespeare for our next and newest generation. To start off with, may I say what a
have long debated the fact of whether students should be required to read Shakespeare or not. There are many reasons for people to believe both sides. But, for many years, people have still debated without ever coming to a conclusion. Some believe the language is too difficult, and not useful for today. However, Shakespeare is very important, and today’s culture has many references to Shakespeare's plays, so students should be required to read Shakespeare in class.

Should Poetry Be Taught In Schools? Poetry, why is it important? Do we really need poetry in our schools? Contrary to belief, poetry has a greater impact on students than you might think.

They were the basis for Western storytelling and are still considered to be fundamental texts in world literature courses. Their influence on Western civilization is apparent as the Trojan War has inspired many movies, television
most part, a pleasant experience. It started out pretty good, I should say. Everyone was dressed nice, we listened to the teachers talk about us, and some parents and students cried what I’m sure were forced tears of joy. None of the teachers really had anything interesting to say; it was all just more of the same. “Thank you”, “you taught me more than I taught you”, “thank you”, “you were all the brightest student I’ve ever taught”, and then some more “thank you’s,” if you could believe it.

Almost every work of literature allude to Shakespeare, in fact it’s hard to find literature that doesn’t alludes to The Bard of Avon in some way.
