what play would you choose?

marshmallow

hav a choice of studying 'romeo and juliet' or 'the merchant of venice' for jc. what would you choose?

Why those two? You are aware that you can use any play for your junior cert, not just one of those. Orescribed texts don't factor in until leaving cert level

Personally, I studied Julius Caesar and Our day out in school, then went with West SIde Story on the day

Fobia

We werent given a choice...we just did Julius Caesar, having said that I don't regret doing it - it's easy compared to some of Shakespeare's plays to study...

I'd go with Merchant of Venice if you have to choose between those two marshmallow.

crazy angel

I'd love to see you answering student's questions.
" I don't understand your question and/or don't know the answer!!"

Are you a teacher then JCB?

The main answer to questions on any subject that the H dips in my school seem to like using is "would you like to go to the office?", and they don't seem very happy at all when I answer "no, why on earth would I want to go to the office?"....

But if you're a teacher then just let them do what they want tbh. If students don't want to learn don't force them - just keep them quiet and teach the people who are in class to actually learn

It was a hint that she should stop using text language because it's hard to understand....you get me?

what the big trial scene? nah thats easy, well it is for me, Shylock, best Character in the book, evil Characters are always the best, the good guys are always boring, but Shylck, he's great, he's Jewish and hates the christains and gets what the retard deserves....like come on its his own fault for not staing stuff like,

Qoute Portia as the judge "If the christains blood is to touch the floor all your belonings go to Venice" or something like that

don't ya think? he could have adding more detail into it instead of "A pound of fles from the merchants blood"

I am doing Julias Caesar and I enjoy it. So much murder and betrayal

angeldelight

definitely the merchant of venice! I did that and I loved it: short, easy to answer Qs on and also a very nice clever play.
