SHAKESPEARE: INVESTIGATE THE BARD’S INFLUENCE ON TODAY’S WORLD

Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00032

English Summary/英文概要： “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” Teenagers have been sighing an approximation of these words for centuries, ever since William Shakespeare had Juliet utter them from her balcony in one of the most popular plays of all time, Romeo and Juliet. Tales of love, loss, rebellion, rivalry—before there was Twilight, Warm Bodies, and The Lion King, there was Shakespeare. The characters, language, imagery, and plot elements of many books and movies that appear on bookshelves and in cinemas today are directly influenced by the plays of the Bard.

In Shakespeare: Investigate the Bard’s Influence on Today’s World, readers discover links between the books, movies, and music they listen to today and the words that were written and acted out more than 400 years ago. Readers deconstruct Shakespearean themes, imagery, language, and meaning by finding familiar ground on which to gain literary insight. Through hands-on projects such as coding a video game based on one of Shakespeare’s plays to rewriting a scene in the text language of emoji, readers find compelling avenues into the dramatic, sometimes intimidating language, leaving them well-equipped to tackle any major text in the academic years to come.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 莎士比亚没有写僵尸电影，但如果没有戏剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，就不会有电影《温暖的尸体》! 在这本书中，读者们将有幸研究到莎翁的五部戏剧中的语言和主题，并从中发现这些元素在今天的著作，音乐和电影中的影响力。(Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：Praise for other books by Andi Diehn

Teachers will be thrilled with the plentiful primary sources included as QR codes that will immediately engage their classes. A treasure trove of discovery, this interactive series promises to influence the next generation of female science stars." Highly Recommended

National Science Teachers Association Recommends "Written like a magazine with short reading areas followed by “Ask & Answer” essential questions, the book focuses on reading comprehension and reasoning skills while also teaching about technology then and now. . ."

Booklist New SERIES NONFICTION SHOWCASE "The women featured in this series share more than a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math. Starting at a young age all were discouraged from pursuing paths in STEM fields. These books seek to rectify this oversight by encouraging today’s girls to consider special topics in science and technology. . . Numerous sidebars include further background information, mini profiles of more prominent females in STEM, and thought-provoking questions. A worthwhile addition to STEM collections."

Jane Margolis, Author of Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing and Stuck in the Shallow End: Education, Race, and Computing “I truly wish Technology: Cool Women Who Code had been around when my daughter was younger. It is a lively and informative introduction for young readers to the world of computing, bringing the field to life through descriptions of the field itself and stories of female leaders and their contributions.”
