My Project
Reading Hamlet can be a daunting challenge for students, as the language has changed significantly since it was written over 400 years ago. To help my students engage with this classic play, I’m seeking 50 copies of No Fear Shakespeare: Hamlet. This edition provides a side-by-side modern translation, allowing students to understand the text while still experiencing Shakespeare’s original language. With your support, my students will be able to unlock the meaning behind the words, appreciate the beauty of the play, and build confidence in reading classic literature. Thank you for helping bring Shakespeare to life in our classroom!
