A Shakespeare By Any Other Name | Marybeth McDonough | TEDxYouth@SRDS

Marybeth McDonough, a Shakesperean scholar and high school English teacher, discusses the relevance of Shakespeare to modern life. In this talk, she emphasizes the applicability of the Bard’s work to high school kids. Marybeth McDonough has been teaching high school English for ten years, the last five at Saddle River Day School. She is a middle child, likes movies more than the average person, and she does not want to pet your dog (sorry!). She is thrilled to be here today for her first appearance on the TEDx stage and will shock and awe you with tales of the Bard himself, William Shakespeare. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
