October 25 is St. Crispin’s Day and every lover of Shakespeare should either read the St. Crispin’s Day speech from Henry V<\/em> or watch a performance of it. If you have a Shakespeare Club or a class, by all means do both. I recommend watching one or two fantastic performances of the speech (some of my favorites are below). You can then have the students read either the full speech together or a portion you select. Finally, ask for volunteers who might want to perform the speech themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the speech from the Poetry Society<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an article<\/a> about the speech and St. Crispin’s Day by Juliana Avery for the Folger Shakespeare Library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here are some of my favorite clips of the speech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
