This document discusses creating a school LARP (live-action role-play) activity on Shakespeare. It provides methods for running the LARP in a large class by dividing students into small groups, each taking on roles. The LARP is proposed as an engaging way to teach about Shakespeare by encouraging social learning and different perspectives. Potential issues with large classes are addressed, but LARP is suggested as a solution that gives everyone a role. Results expected from students include increased interaction, understanding of concepts, and social benefits from group work.Elt

One of the most complex mental activities is reading, which engages many areas of the brain. Parents can help children develop important skills and a lifelong love of reading by making it a regular part of home life. Filling the home with books, newspapers, and magazines and being a role model who reads themselves is important. Parents should also discuss what they and their children are reading to further engagement and comprehension. Even just 15 minutes of independent reading a day can significantly increase a child's vocabulary and exposure to written language. These efforts can motivate children and teenagers alike to read more regularly.Intro to Common Core
