Have you ever wanted to speak the speeches of Hamlet or wow audiences as Juliet in the balcony scene? This quick crash course will teach you all about the tiny clues Shakespeare left in the wording, meter, and punctuation of his plays. You'll learn how actors use those clues to figure out what characters are thinking and feeling, and get a chance to read some Shakespearian speeches yourself!
L1531: Poem Parodies in Splash Spring 2016 (Apr. 30, 2016)
In this course, you'll learn about great poetry by learning to make fun of it. We'll read famous poems, and learn about the various ways they've been parodied, imitated, or (lovingly) mocked. We'll discuss what makes these poems great, and what makes them so...mockable. You'll also have some time to write parody poems of your own, and to share them.
