= Welcome to the Renaissance! =

==Shakespeare's time was a period of great discovery, known as the Renaissance. The Renaissance, meaning "rebirth", was a period of new creativity that began in the 15th century till the 17th century, more or less.==

==== William Shakespeare (1564-1616) displayed all the splendour of the English language and became so popular, because his characters show a deep understanding of human beings. Through his characters, we see our strengths and weaknesses, our passions and our fears and difficulties, and also how life can be funny, too. ====

This term we are going to do different projects around Shakespeare.
