CONNECTING WITH SHAKESPEARE THROUGH TENSES

 Students of class VIII performed an activity on tenses. They worked in groups of three and wrote about the three types of tenses "PRESENT PAST FUTURE". 
The students got motivation from William Shakespeare's poem "All the World's a Stage"  wherein they wrote about the different stages of life using different forms of tenses. 
Some students described their stage as the school boy/ girl stage giving examples in present tense and also describing past and future. While some other students used their imaginations and wrote about various other stages of life giving examples about past present and future.
