Biography

My name is Alexa. I am 11 years-old. I love to do sports and my favourites are football, hockey, swimming and riding. I also love reading lots of books and doing art and DT.

About my Shakespeare-inspired book

I chose to do the life of William Shakespeare as a comic book. I am a sight learner so pictures help me learn and I thought doing a comic book would be a great way to do some art as well as writing. I really like cartoon drawings because they are fun and engaging. Most of my research was online, to find a Shakespeare timeline and drawings that I turned into cartoons.

 

What did you enjoy about making your book?

It was really fun to make my book because I love drawing and I enjoyed deciding what cartoons to do for each fact I had about Shakespeare.

What is your favourite Shakespeare play, character or quote?

My favourite Shakespeare play is A Midsummer Night’s Dream because so much happens and it’s a mix of magic and reality. Puck is my favourite character because he is cute and funny and always up to mischief!
