Off the top of my head, I only know that Hamlet is a play by Shakespeare. But, after some help from Google, I also found out that the play is set in Denmark and Prince Hamlet tries to get revenge on his uncle Claudius for killing King Hamlet, who is the Prince's dad. Claudius also succeeds the thrown and takes Gertrude as his own, who is Prince Hamlets mother. Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest piece of work and most popular.
b) What do you know about Shakespeare?
Shakespeare was an English poet and play writer, He has about 38 plays and they are performed more than any other play writes work.
c) Why do so many students involuntarily frown when they hear the name "Shakespeare"?

Shakespeare can be a scary word for a lot of kids, mainly because they remember their first experience reading his work. It is extremely long and comes across boring because we don't understand it. But with the right teacher who will go through everything and explain, it makes the process not so grueling.
d) What can we do to make studying this play an amazing experience we'll never forget?
First off, when we begin reading, the teacher should explain anything that seems like we don't understand. A recap every couple pages to keep us on track would be so helpful. Also the class needs to bw willing to ask questions when something is not understood.
I like your responsed to question number four I didn't think about that when I responded earlier. I think that would be very benifical!
