Year13+Research

The Research Project undertaken by the Year 13 students has allowed them to consider Shakespeare's themes in the context of our modern world. While they have studied chosen themes in relation to particular plays by Shakespeare, the most interesting outcome has been the identification of those themes in our world today! The research has led students into areas otherwise unknown to them, e.g. The marriage of ten year-old girls in India, and the lifestyle of the recently captured Kosovo war criminal in Australia. Conversation has deepened and the students are feeling like experts. This project has not only given students insight into several Shakespeare plays and a new respect for his grestness as a playwright, but it has also given them a world view that has widened their horizons.
