Please read the article "Shakespeare's Coined Words Now Common Currency" http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/04/0419_040419_shakespeare.html
and respond to the following questions:
1. Who is the author of this article, and when did he/she publish it?
2. Give four examples of today's "sayings" which were influenced by Shakespeare.
3. Which "noun" did Shakespeare use as a "verb" (we continue to use it as a verb today).
4. Shakespeare has been credited as being the first to use which words (give 10 examples).
5. What well known Shakespearean phrase does the author end his/her article with?
Pass these questions in to me at the beginning of class on Wednesday to earn a bank mark. Good luck!
