This week you will be writing your own Shakespearean comic strip using one or more of the following plot ideas: mistaken identity, star-crossed lovers, and love triangle. These ideas that Shakespeare is famous for are used again and again in popular movies. Some of Shakespeare's plays have even been adapted to a modern high school setting, such as 10 Things I Hate About You and She's the Man.
Think of a movie you are familiar with that centers on one of the three plot ideas and explain how it fits the criteria. To what degree do you think the creators of the movie were influenced by Shakespeare. What Shakespeare play is most similar to the movie? (You may have to research this a bit!)
Write two paragraphs in which you discuss Shakespeare's influence on modern cinema. Post and comment by Friday, February 20.
