During a special performance, the James A. Dever School Room 210 Players brought the words of William Shakespeare to life. Students in Ms. Phillips’ sixth-grade class impressed and entertained their families and invited guests as they performed a mini version of Shakespeare’s tragedies including Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.
Their commitment, including hours of memorizing lines and rehearsing, was evident as they took to the stage with confidence. The auditorium was filled with thunder, lightning, murder, betrayal, magic and true love as students performed the timeless words of William Shakespeare.
As an extension of the district’s Common Core Learning Standards curriculum, the students researched and discussed the history behind Julius Caesar, the negative impact of family feuds and the ultimate price one pays for extreme ambition. The complete immersion in the plays and their thematic messages were clearly evident by the sincerity and intensity of each performance. Brava!
