I don’t really know much about SMB’s blog, but I think it’s worth a link. It appears to be kids writing about Shakespeare: On the 19th October a lady named Fiona, from the Young Shakespeare Company came to act out for us The Twelfth Night. It starts off with a brother and a sister on a boat and they were shipwrecked. They thought they lost each other but each saved themselves, they really missed each other… The categories mention “Year 6”, which is not a United States school designation, so I’m not really sure how old they are. Is that like 6th grade, which would make them maybe 11 years old? Regardless, I like to support such things. They seem to be enjoying the experience and not writing things like “Ug, Julius Caesar, I hate this…” like I tend to see in most of the LiveJournal blogs I find :).
