Shakespeare Insult Presentation

In this lesson, we learnt about Shakespearean insults (what they meant and how they were used). We divided ourselves into two groups and each performed a short sketch about an argument of our choice, using Shakespearean language and insults.
My group ( Jasmin, Danial, Terry, Jake and myself)'s sketch was about an argument on a macbook between Terry, Danial and Jake, with Jasmin and I overlooking it and wondering what to do with them. Our presentation was short, and went straight to the point of the task (using Shakespearean insults). However, there are things we need to improve on, namely organisation, presentation methods as well as volume of our voices. 
The second group (Jamie, Kai Song, Azzah and Hong Yi) performed a very entertaining sketch about 3 girls fighting over a boy. It was lively, and it used Shakespeare's insults very well. The performance was performed well, with loud voices and good tone. However, they started to face each other towards the end of the performance, instead of the audience. Other than that, it was a great sketch.
As a class, we learnt a lot about Shakespearean insults as well as how to present a good presentation.
