No author is more famous than William Shakespeare. His plays are presented all over the world and some of his quotes are greatly used in our everyday life. The students are familiar with some of his plays since they have watched several English performances at school. Thus in the framework of the English lesson the learners were introduced to the life of William Shakespeare and some of his achievements through a short animated video. 

The children had the opportunity to develop their understanding of Shakespeare's legacy and promote their speaking skills while discussing answers to a quiz in groups. What's more, the pupils evolved different strategies for watching and understanding a short video and later evaluating what they had already seen. Finally this project gave them the chance to develop their knowledge of life in England 400 years ago, the period when this prolific writer lived.
