Well from the primary research of Shakespeare i have done i have gained an understanding that children from all ages, from 7 to 18 have a great understanding of shakespeare and not only that they love learning about him. From speaking to professionals i undertsand that the best way to learn about Shakespeare is to fully interact with his plays, whetheer that be a 'watered-down' version of his scripts or performing small extracts tge effect is much the same. It was most interesting talking to the variety of students from either Tolethorpe or Cophtill because their responses to the questions were very similar. They found it hard at first to understand Shakespeare but once they were performing and surrounded by the language and atmosphere it was easier to slip into the roles.
Shakespeare is all about context, in which is performed. With either the roles or the plays itself. Shakespeare is diverse and covers a variety of life topics which is good for young students. All his skills as a writer and linguist really help children appreciate the use of language and how powerful it can be when used correctly.
I have really enjoyed researching Shakespeare, its been good having time to investigate something so fully.
