Shakespeare Scholar Project and Science
Shakespeare LEMI Scholar Project
The first semester, students will read, analyze and study in-depth a Shakespeare play. Spring semester, they will prepare to perform that play and put on a performance in May. This class is more than a literature class and more than a theater class—it is a leadership class where students will discuss, analyze, present, write, and be creative.
In the Shakespeare LEMI Project, students will:
· connect with Shakespeare's timeless insights
· master the art of bringing characters to life
· explore emotions and understand human nature at its deepest levels
· express themselves with confidence and artistry
· transform understanding from surface-level to profound
· view life through another perspective
· research and present on Elizabethan Era topics—from the Globe Theater to the Four Humors, from courtship customs to crime and punishment
· write with depth and insight as they learn to engage with complex ideas (even reluctant writers discover they have important insights worth sharing)
“To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man” (Hamlet, I, iii, 75)
Physical and Earth Science

· explore nature's laws and scientific laws through the study of study of physical and earth science

· Participate in weekly science experiments and group hands-on projects
