As we read The Tragedy of Macbeth, King Lear, and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar in my English classes, I think it is appropriate for me to bring up an issue that has been in the news for a long time - did Shakespeare actually write everything which is attributed to him? If you are interested in doing more exploration on the subject, go to the Shakespeare Resource Center. Once on the page you will find information about the men who some think actually wrote what is attributed to Shakespeare, and you will also find many articles which further explore the subject.
If you find anything really interesting, don't be afraid to share your findings in class or on your own blog.
The site has some interesting ideas but it show very little evidence. The site says that these men could have written what Shakespeare had been said to have written because the one stopped writing at an early age, and the second was a really good writer, and the third one had a mysterious death. They only said those guys could have done it because of the situation not by actual evidence. It was an interesting site but I felt that it was very flawed when it came down to the actual facts and evidence.
