Learn more about the language Shakespeare used while also seeing my attempts at using neologism (new words)!
1. CREATE YOUR OWN INSULT:
I used this link, https://web.mit.edu/dryfoo/Funny-pages/shakespeare-insult-kit.html, and chose one word from each column to create and insult.
My Insult is:
Thou bootless hasty-witted dewberry
Definition:
You useless, irrational dewberry (looks similar to a blackberry)
My Visualization:
2. CHOOSE A NEOLOGISM:
I used this link, https://www.litcharts.com/blog/shakespeare/words-shakespeare-invented/, to learn more about how Shakespeare invented words. I then chose one word he attributed to match with an illustration.
The Neologism I Chose:
Dawn
My Illustration:
3. CREATE YOUR OWN NEW WORD:
To create my own new word, I decided to make a portmanteau. I tend to do this a lot in real life because two words pop into my mind, so I end up saying them combined. For this activity, the two words I chose to combine were happy and surprised because if you surprise someone, they are going to be happy and surprised!
MY PORTMANTEAU:
haprised
A SENTENCE USING THE NEW WORD:
The girl was haprised when all of her cousins flew in from California to attend her high school graduation because she had missed them a lot.
