VIDEO - How to Use the Lexicon
"If you don't know what you're saying,

Sunday
Take the 7-Day Shakespeare Challenge!
Join me for a week-long SHAKESPEARE CHALLENGE!
I'll be working my way through Timon of Athens, but feel free to pick any play you'd like.
If you want a day-by-day breakdown, here's an idea:
Day 1: Choose your play, tag a friend to be your accountability partner, and read Act 1!
Day 2: Read Act 2 and check in with your friend to see how they're doing!
Day 3: Read Act 3 and let me know who your favorite character is so far!
Day 4: Read Act 4 and let me know what's happened that has surprised you!
Day 5: Finish reading the play and check in with your friend to see how they're doing!
Day 6: If you've fallen behind with your reading, catch up today! Then find a film version of the play on YouTube and watch the first half of it.
Day 7: Finish watching the play and CONGRATULATE yourself and your partner for getting your Shakes together this week!
