A series of essays helps set the stage; written from a number of
perspectives, angles and thesis', you and your students will
learn about the nuances and history that's apparent when reading
and acting in his plays. Yet, the "Fiercly Held Belief" is put
forth that Shakespeare should not (and was never meant to be)
confined to pages, words and dictionaries, but rather acted out
and full of real, applicable life. Each play includes day-by-day
lesson plans that will immerse students within the works;
sections covered in the lesson, objectives, any preparation,
activities and actions for the class to participate in, main
lesson, homework and reinforcement are all included. And as
you're teaching, you might just find that teaching Shakespeare
is less "Double, double toil and trouble" than "softest music to
attending ears!" This volume covers A Midsummer Night's Dream,
Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth. 274 pages, softcover.
