Word of Shakespeare (4th ESO Final Project)

In order to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death groups of students were given some of his most famous quotes and had to shoot a video in which they reflect on their own future, concerns and lives inspiring their recited text on the word of the universal writer.

The quotes were:
- Knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven (Henry VI).
- We know what we are, but know not what we may be (Hamlet).
- There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so (Hamlet).
- It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves (Romeo and Juliet).
- Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush stumble and fall (Romeo and Juliet). 
- Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none (All's Well that Ends Well).
- No legacy is so rich as honesty (All's Well that Ends Well).

Video requirements:
- around 3 minutes length.
- background music.
- the quote had to be mentioned at some point in the video.
- no reading.
- landscape video mode.
- accurate pronounciation and fluency.
- extra points were given if the students made a T-shirt with a word cloud on it (based on their own writing) designed on the site wordle.net or tagxedo.com.

Here are some of the videos and T-shirts! Enjoy them!

What does "Throw Another Shrimp on the Barbie" really Mean?

The phrase was used by the actor Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) in a 1980s TV commercial which belonged to an advertising campaign by the Australian tourism board aired in the USA. The use of the word shrimp was because an American wouldn't know what a prawn was.

You won't find the word shrimp in spoken Australian English but the word prawn. Besides, barbie is the short form for the barbeque.
