400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's Death

THIS IS THE BIOGRAPHY FROM THE PUBLISHER THAT STUDENTS FROM ESO2 SUMMARIZED TO CELEBRATE SHAKESPEARE'S DEATH ( 400th ANNIVERSARY )

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. His father sold wool and made gloves and, according to records, his mother came from a wealthy family.

Shakespeare went to the local Grammar School but he didn't have a university degree.

William Shakespeare became famous for writing many plays, including Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.
 However, he began his career in the theatre as an actor. Unfortunately, he wasn't a very good actor so he began writing instead. Shakespeare wrote poetry as well as plays.

The theatres were closed in London from 1592 to 1594 due to the Plague and there wasn't anything for Shakespeare to do, so he spent this time writing two poems which helped him become well-known as a writer.



By 1603, there were many popular theatres, like The Globe, in London. William Shakespeare owned a company: "The King's Men". They performed in the best theatres in the country.

William Shakespeare wrote over a million words in his lifetime. In fact, he could write two new plays every year. The audiences loved them and by the time he died, in 1616, Shakespeare was a very rich and famous man.

Literacy Week at Salesianos Pamplona and Shakespeare/Cervantes Day

Before we started holidays, the Spanish and English Department held a short week of Literature Approach and Activities to promote reading in the classrooms with students of ESO4 ( Literature and Latin Section ) as lecturers and we held a Second Hand Book Market during the daily breaks. Finally we ended this three days with a Karaoke in the theatre of the school. Although students didn't feel confident enough to sing along, I think that it is a good time to remember the songs YOU chose: Students from ESO1 chose a new song: 10000 MANERAS from DAVID BISBAL, a famous singer from the first edition of OPERACION TRIUNFO. A song which talks about the different ways of saying the truth, love, etc. Students from ESO2 chose a song: HEY BROTHER! from AVICII who is a Swedish DJ who took some ideas from the famous David Guetta. a song which talks about the brotherhood of Mankind and how we still can change the world with love. Students from ESO3 decided to sing along with another inspiring song: LET HER GO from PASSENGER It is a song that talks about how you realize what you had when you lose it, no matter if is your love or a possession. Finally, students from ESO4 wanted to use the song from PHARRELL WILLIAMS to give the importance of being happy of our lives. All in all was a great week for students and teachers as well. Now we can enjoy our deserving holidays of Easter and we have to make a profit of our free time and not forget that it is only a month to end the course when we go back to school. We gave a conclusion to that fiesta with this funny song: HAVE NICE RELAXING EASTER HOLIDAYS!
