From lonely to luggage, it would be nearly impossible to have a modern-day conversation without using words that William Shakespeare coined. A Twelfth Night study guide introduces individuals to fun Shakespeare facts as they participate in a Socratic Seminar, play a rousing game of Shakespeare Taboo, and practice paraphrasing characters' words into more current speech.
