Discuss the value of the play, The Tempest, and whether it is significant to 21st cent. classrooms. Are the themes applicable to modern-day society? Or are they too antiquated? Argue whether or not the play should  still be  studied in educational settings.

George -Feels we should be living in the future instead of the past because we don’t speak in Shakespears language and it isn’t useful.

Imani – Applicable to

Amanda – Yes it should still be taught because it shows women can still take on the rolls as men when it comes to acting. Agrees that it should be around because you’re always going to have people around guiding one another. Disagrees with George because if you don’t learn from history you’ll be clueless.
