My Opinion
Opinion
My Opinion of doing this Biography Project About William
Shakespeare explains that he was a very Determined, Talented, and wonderful poet, actor, Play writer, and I guess you could say he was
an “OK” Dad.
My Recommendation to
other students
Recommendation
I would totally urge all of you, for a future biography project to do William Shakespeare. It was fun
doing this project because I learned a lot from it.
Why would I recommend William Shakespeare?
William Shakespeare is a fun person to learn about. The only hard thing about him was that most older documents written
about him were in Old English. He had an extraordinary childhood. I have had fun learning about him
and I know you would to!
