BRILLIANT December 24, 2008
I love this series so much.br /br /The underlying idea is very simple: take the plays off the page and they make sense to all students -- the high flyers and the ones with reading difficulties. Within these books are activities and projects that are bite-sized. They allow the script to be performed and/or analyzed and/or experienced WITHOUT the students having to undertake a full-blown performance. br /br /AND there is no dumbing down of the text. br /br /AND you can use a little from these books or every page. br /br /BUT your students need to have the skills to work in groups.
Fabulous resource for teaching Shakespeare November 11, 2008
I just bought this to teach a Shakespeare co-op and have been *so* pleased. One of my co-teachers saw some of the activities that we were doing and had to get her own copy.br /br /I think this is an essential resource for teaching Shakespeare without making it "boring." One caveat: We have been doing the first play in the book, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," so we have not used the activities for the other two plays.br /br /I must admit that I didn't love every activity in the book, but I found plenty to use with my students. Some of the activities seemed a little simplistic, but most were wonderful. You need to understand that I used this book as a resource along with many others (including my own experience after studying Shakespeare for years), so I did not use it in the format in which the book is set up (it has daily exercises that you can do over a month or more).br /br /All in all, I loved this resource, would use it again, and buy others in this series. I highly recommend using the activities in the Cambridge student versions of the Shakespeare plays in addition to this book.br /br /
Fantastic November 2, 2008
The lessons provided are great and can easily be switched up to fit your own personal lessons. This book is great and highly recommended.
Great starting place for planning! August 8, 2008
Getting high school students interested in Shakespeare seems to be the test of any English teacher, and this book provides a great starting place. I used this to help me design my calendar with timing, and I borrowed several lesssons. I found it to be both practical and adaptable. I definitely recommend this book to teachers starting Shakespeare units.
Great teaching resource July 19, 2008
This is a great resource for any English teacher planning to teach one of these 3 plays. The lessons are very well-written and creative with step-by-step instructions! Excellent resource for any teacher who wants his or her students to learn through performance!
