William Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire. He was known as an English play writer and for his poems. He was known as ‘The Bard’’. He was born in 1564 and died in 1616, so he lived more than 400 years ago. He is one of the most famous writers in the world. Some of his poems: A fairy song A lover’s complaint Fairy land 1 Fairy land 2 Fairy land 3 Hark! Hark! The lark And many more poems His Signature: Should we still study him? Our personal opinion is that we think we shouldn’t study William Shakespeare anymore because we don’t know as much information as we need to know about him and how he lived. We don’t need to learn about him anymore because children might think it’s boring sitting there for hours listening and sitting there for hours working about him. We think if we had more fun information about how he lived and some information about his lifetime, then we could learn about his lifetime. By Kelsey and Kirsty (7xLA)
