Well did you know this movie She's the Man is based off of a Shakespeare play,
The Twelfth Night?
It is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1601–02 as a Twelfth Night's entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play centers on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. The play focuses on the Countess Olivia falling in love with Viola (who is disguised as a boy), and Sebastian in turn falling in love with Olivia.
I want us to read the play Twelfth Night and after this we will watch the movie She's the Man. You will then compare and contrast the movie and the play by writing an essay!
