Book Day and Copyright Day

On 23 April we celebrate Book Day and Copyright Day. But do you know why? This day is the anniversary of the death of three important authors around the world: William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. All of them died on 23 April 1616 (although there are some days of difference because some countries followed the Julian calendar and others the Gregorian one). That is the reason why UNESCO chose this day to encourage people to enjoy reading.

In fact, we are not celebrating a particular day, but the whole month, by working on the WebQuest on Romeo and Juliet and Elizabethan England. Very soon we will see the final projects and we will enjoy a new final act of the play performed by our own company of actors. I can't wait for it!
