23. My Opinion

My Opinion of doing this Biography
Project About William Shakespeare
explains that he was a very
Determined, Talented, and wonderful
poet, actor, Play writer, and I guess you
could say he was an “OK” Dad.

25. My Recommendation
to other students

26. Recommendation
I would totally urge all of you, for a future
biography project to do William
Shakespeare. It was fun doing this
project because I learned a lot from it.

27. Why would I recommend
William Shakespeare?
William Shakespeare is a fun person to
learn about. The only hard thing about
him was that most older documents
written about him were in Old English. He
had an extraordinary childhood. I have
had fun learning about him and I know
you would to!
