6 min @TEDEd animated clip - Why should you read #Macbeth? - Brendan Pelsue

Text from youtube " There’s a play so powerful that an old superstition says its name should never be uttered in a theater. A play that begins with witchcraft and ends with a bloody, severed head. A play filled with riddles, prophecies, nightmare visions, and lots of brutal murder. But is it really all that good? Brendan Pelsue explains why you should read (or revisit) "Macbeth." Lesson by Brendan Pelsue, directed by Silvia Prietov. "

i guess playtime has changed ......

conspiracy of freedom: play

children used to play


but play outside is declining as children's stress, obesity and screen time (52 hours a week) increase


what if we could reverse the trends and played more, read more, baked more, made more and took a few risks?


so we raised our children as creators not consumers, givers not just receivers
