Green Eggs and Hamlet

a) What I know about Hamlet was that it was written by William Shakespeare, was a tragedy, and "To be or not to be."
b)What I know about Shakespeare was that he was a tragic play writer and poet, who lived in England most of his life. He wrote plays such as Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth along with his very known play Hamlet. I also know that he was married to Anne Hathaway during his life and had a few children.
c) Many students frown when they hear Shakespeare because many students, including myself, don't appreciate his story plots including Romeo and Juliet in which honestly isn't a very romantic story in which the children meet for a couple hours then kill themselves. Sorry, but not very romantic if I do say so myself. The story honestly lacks intelligence because in order to "fall in love" with someone you need to spend more than a couple hours with them before you kill yourself.
d) What we could possibly do to make the learning of this subject more appealing is to act out some of the scenes in the play because real live action is a lot more entertaining than words on a page. Bringing the words to life!
