For the third quarter, sixty-five amazing students will be reading Shakespeare's King Lear and pondering the nature of identity, power, and family. Along with the play, which will be read and discussed in class, we will be reading four novels. In small groups, students will reflect on the themes of the play and connect them to the novel they're reading on their own. I hope that hearing of Lear's downfall, his notions of family and power, his ideas about loyalty and royalty, will provide a powerful basis for students to create a portfolio of original writing that integrates recent fiction and Shakespeare.
