As a culmination to our study of the great Shakespearean tragedy, Julius Caesar, students were asked to memorize a famous speech from the play--an assignment I’ve traditionally given.  On a test, students wrote down the memorized lines and explained what those lines revealed about the character. 

After some inspirational training from the folks at “MLTI,” however, I decided to add a technological twist.  Students would turn their memorized speeches into a Shakespearean Podcast; this new product would—I hoped mightily—add to their repertoire of computer skills as well as deepen their understanding and appreciation of the Shakespearean language.

I think the results speak for themselves.  I’ve included my own humble effort along with a smattering of the delightful student products.  Enjoy!
