I am so glad it was a positive first experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628472484731723590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229536235091412031.post-78023059552522000342011-05-06T18:24:28.520-04:002011-05-06T18:24:28.520-04:00Hi Nikki, I've been surfing around blogs today...Hi Nikki, I've been surfing around blogs today and I can't remember how I even found you. Wait --- I think you are the Blog of the Day? Is that how this happened? Anyhow, I was glad to see your Shakespeare story and thought I would share about what my son and I are doing. We follow Ambleside Online and so have been reading the stories from Lamb's Tales from Shakepeare. We also have watched the BBC Animated stories when we can. A few times we have also read picture books of the play. As we're reading along we draw stick figures to represent people and events and places in the story. Shakespeare plots can get a bit convoluted, you know. We posted a portion of James narrating "Cymbeline" at our blog. http://www.kaypelham.com/2011/02/25/james-explains-shakespeares-cymbeline/<br /><br />Wait wait wait wait! I just remembered why I ended up at your blog. You visited ours today, right? Mentioning James' Shakepeare video reminded me that you commented on his Caravaggio video. I've got too much going on. We're about to take a loooooong road trip and I'm packing and having to take school things because we still have two more weeks to complete. I reached for our Tales from Shakespeare and said, "Oh, better take that because we have a play to read." To which James said, "Oh, good!" (and genuinely meaning it.) Not something you'd hear from most soon-to-be 8 year old boys, I guess. Glad your kids are enjoying Shakespeare also.KayPelhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601334413233525818noreply@blogger.com
