It's Shakespeare time!
I wanted to share with you this great opportunity to participate in a Shakespeare competition. If you are interested in participating in a local homeschool qualifying competition, please email me: Amy Brock webmaster@rihomeschool.com and I will put you in touch with someone who is hoping to put that together!
Season's Greetings! It's Shakespeare time! I am sending this letter to all the teachers who have held Shakespeare competitions in recent years. It's time to begin planning. This year's finals are Sunday, February 8th and once again we will be at Laurelmead.
Instead of my sending cumbersome packets through the mail, please simply go to the E-SU website; www.esuus.org. There you will find everything you need, including a list of suggested monologues. However, for your convenience, I am attaching the two forms that I need back from you: the School Participation Form and the Branch Competition Entry Form. I will need the former as soon as you decide you will compete. Then send me the latter when your school has selected its winner. I have stated that Friday, January 23 is my deadline for everything.
Note that 9th graders are now eligible. Your winner must have been selected from among a minimum of 3 participants, but I urge you to make the Shakespeare Competition a class assignment, thus giving students who do not think they can do this an opportunity to discover that they can. Monologues must be no more than 20 lines and remember that the judges consider the sonnet just as significant as the monologue.
If you have trouble downloading the forms or have any questions, feel free to contact me. I will again be advising your principal of the competition and will continue my efforts to attract representation from schools which have not yet participated.
Thanks for your loyalty to Shakespeare in the past. Of all my extra-curricular activities I think this E-SU Shakespeare contest is my favorite. I hope your school year has begun well.
Sincerely, David Burnham
