#15: The Taming of the Shrew--Shakespeare

This is the last major work my ninth graders will read this year, and it's a nice one to end on. After this, we'll do short stories, and then the year's up.

I enjoy this play quite a lot, and the kids seem to as well. They get the humor, there are fun gender stereotypes to play around with, and generally they have a good time with it. It's also fun to read a comedy, rather than always focusing on his tragedies.
