Video Resources

I doubt we will watch all these films . . . actually, I'm quite certain we won't, but I keep them all in battery to see which way student interests turn.  Each shows something specifically well that Shakespeare said that is appropriate to our time.

We will watch videos of Romeo and Juliet; that is in our syllabus.  The rest are listed as supporting data, extension, enrichment, and sheer joy of learning.
