Bob Zaslow's (aka Mr. Z) new book, Rap-Notes - Shakespeare's Greatest Hits (Vol. 1) has been published by Xlibris press. In the book, Zaslow, a teacher, member of the UFT Players and playwright, summarizes five of Shakespeare's great plays in the book: Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
But the author, "In an effort to turn on middle-school and high-school kids to William Shakespeare's glorious poetic language and brilliant thinking" has written the summaries in an unusual way...they’re raps. They all rhyme, and they’re meant to be read with a funky beat.
Have fun reading and using this inventive and engaging book in your own classrooms! It is available for purchase in hardcover, softcover and eBook forms online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and the publisher's site.
