Re: What books do you want to be required reading?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I think my point is less YOU SHOULD TOTALLY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING and more that I think you can get everything across pretty well with footnotes and guidance from the teacher. With Shakespeare. But probably not with Chaucer.

The idea re: Shakespeare that 'you're going to miss things if you're reading the plays instead of seeing them on stage as they were meant to be performed' is something I kind of disagree with as well (sorry). I think it's kind of true, but I think you're also going to miss some things seeing it live. I think reading a Shakespeare play and seeing a Shakespeare play are both pretty valid and cool. Neither is the one true way. Especially if you're reading it aloud, which you totally should, because Shakespeare is fun to read out loud.

Shakespeare should absolutely be read aloud.

On the other hand, I'm one of those linguistics geeks who actually enjoys reading Chaucer in the original Middle English, but at the high school level, a glossary as well as good footnotes are definitely needed. Still, I think there's some value in showing kids how the language changed (and didn't change) over time -- there's something really great about looking at an apparently random collection of letters, pronouncing it out loud, and suddenly realize that it sounds exactly the same as a modern word.

But I'm a giant dork, and even I struggled with Elizabethan English a bit in high school, so *shrug*
