Good Activity Kirk! I believe this activity is great because it helps to make connections with Shakespeare and today which is crucial to get student to want to learn. Browsing the internet to find current Shakespeare plays helps the students realize what an impact his plays still have today. Comparing the original play will the recent ones will get the students to think critically and help them appreciate the plays an realize how they still appeal to the audience today.
