My background in Shakespeare...

Of course, I studied Shakespeare in high school with Romeo and Juliet (and actually got the classroom role of Juliet) :).  Unlike my other classmates who hated the reading, I loved it--and still do.  Over the past couple of years in college I have read a couple more of his works, such as his sonnets, Hamlet and King Lear. I am looking forward to this class because I am going to one day be an English teacher and would like to be prepared as possible for my students.  I can't wait to get underway with the romances, comics and dramas that Shakespeare has in store for us!
