William Shakespeare's Blog

This is something I might use in my future classroom to help students learn about the life of William Shakespeare. I could use a personal blog to show the important dates and events in his life, setting it up online to keep students interested. There is a better chance they will read a blog while they are already online doing other things than open and read a textbook to get information. It could be an interesting way to use multimedia to teach high school students.

In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, who very shortly after gave birth to their daughter Susanna. Twins Hamnet and Judith were born a few years later, but Hamnet died young, leaving Shakespeare without a male heir.
