Gemma was so excited about all of the lines the students knew that she literally had to keep herself from jumping up and down. Her face beamed with pride. And so many different lines and plays...wow....Hoggy Warts students RAWKED...no really they do...
"
Amazing everyone! You are all correct." She said looking back at the portrait and only now realizing how unflattering the portrait was. He wasn't near as handsome as the movies from the twentieth century had portrayed him. "
The words and quotes of William Shakespeare can be found everywhere from the Muggle world to the Wizarding World from other author's literature to advertising to movies, etc. He was truly one of the greatest fathers of literature. He is best known for his many famous plays from Romeo and Juliet to Hamlet to Midsummer Night, etc." as she mentioned each play she pointed towards the student that had mentioned lines. "
He has been credited for writing over 37 plays and 154 sonnets. And he revolutionized the world of theatre early on." she said excitedly. "
He is an extremely interesting man, surrounded by controversy and innovation, that we could literally spend an entire term studying." but we won't...but only because she was afraid no one would come to lessons...she thought keeping a giggle to herself.
"
Okay now on to our next author...." she said as she walked towards another unlit portrait on the wall. "
This author is known for creating many words in our language, some of these words were obsurb but many are words that we use on a regular basis. He was a pioneer in children's books and encouraged children to think outside of the box. " she clicked on the light over the portrait. "
Here's one of my most favoritest quotes 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.'” she glanced at the portrait, "
This man created a whole new world of imagination for students and to believe that 'Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.'" yes she slipped that last part in to see if anyone grabbed onto it.
"
Does anyone recognize this author? Could you name one of his books or a famous line or quote of his? Remember to only share one so there are plenty for everyone else..." she asked looking out to see if any of the faces lit up with excitement over this author.
OOC: Remember to raise your hands and to keep talking to a minimum. When you are giving famous lines, please try not to repeat those that have already been shared. Thanks!
