Hilarious

Now here is a comedian for English teachers.  Thanks Mr. Lingen for sharing.




Not only does John Branyan lament that our vocabularies are minuscule compared to Shakespeare's, but he also goes so far as to re-interpret the children's classic, "The Three Little Pigs," using Shakespeare's style and language.

It's great.  Especially the part about the third little pig.

I don't teach Shakespeare, but I think this would be shown on the first day if I did.  And I think I'd have my students take another children's tale or even a scene from a modern film and try and re-interpret it using Shakespeare's style and language.  Just like this guy.

It's hilarious.
