Is cyberbullying Much Ado About Nothing? Weekly Reader, The Ophelia Project, and Facebook don’t think so.

The Readers Digest Association-owned classroom-magazine publisher, the nonprofit aimed at creating safe social climates for teenagers, and the social network, respectively, are teaming up to present William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing via posts, status updates, comments, links, and video, over a three-day period beginning April 26, to mark the playwright’s birthday and create awareness about cyberbullying.

Flocabulary will also contribute an animated hip-hop video to the cause, and students from the White Plains High School drama club will help to present the play.

Much Ado About Nothing can be followed by Liking the READ Magazine Facebook page, as well as by Liking the characters via the website Weekly Reader set up for the project (link above).
