Shakespeare In Bits
Link: itunes.apple.com/us/app/shakespeare-in-bits-romeo/id370803660?mt=8 "Shakespeare in Bits: Romeo & Juliet iPad Edition presents the full text of the play enriched with extra goodies to help facilitate deeper understanding and enjoyment of the material. Kids can click on highlighted words and phrases to get their modern translations and historical context and to understand how certain lines tie into the play's larger themes. There also are scene notes and synopses, character profiles, notable quotes, and a bio of Shakespeare; however, the app's crowning achievements are the cartoon reenactments of every scene that literally bring the play to life, complete with lines that highlight in red as they're being spoken so readers can easily follow along. There is a similar version for the iPhone and iPod Touch called Shakespeare in Bits: Romeo and Juliet that costs $7.99. You also can try each version for free with the Lite versions." (source) |
