Event Details:
Join us as we celebrate with our high school students as they display their Shakespeare research projects. These students have read The Bard's writing all second semester and have completed a project in an area that interests them. As they enter their traditional high school years, Challenge I students are encouraged to think deeply and critically while refining their reading, writing, and research skills. As with our other programs, Challenge I mixes the traditional homeschool model with in-community work, providing not just education, but support and accountability for both parents and students. In the second semester, using The Taming of the Shrew, students learn how to read and enjoy the plays of Shakespeare. Through their homeschool community days each week, they also complete a special project related to this play. The theme of this play centers around courtship, so community discussion embraces that theme and compares different cultural perspectives on relationships, courtship and dating.
