Reading Shakespeare with Young Adults
Author: Mary Ellen Dakin
Shakespeare? Really?
Although the works of William Shakespeare are universally taught in high schools, many students have a similar reaction when confronted with the difficult task of reading Shakespeare for the first time.
In Reading Shakespeare with Young Adults, Dakin seeks to help teachers better understand not just
how to teach the Bard's work, but also why.
By celebrating the collaborative reading of Shakespeare's plays, Dakin explores different methods for getting students engaged and excited about the texts as they learn to construct meaning from Shakespeare's sixteenth-century language and connect it to their twenty-first-century lives.
Filled with teacher-tested classroom activities, this book draws on
often-taught plays, including:
-Hamlet
-Romeo and Juliet
-Macbeth
-Julius Caesar
-A Midsummer Night's Dream
The ideas and strategies presented here are designed to be used with any of=
the Bard's plays and are intended to help all populations of students=97=
mainstream, minority, bilingual, advanced, at-risk.
In the crucible that is the modern American classroom, Shakespeare is the g=
reat equalizer. Even after hundreds of years, his works are new and strange=
to us all.
So, yes, Shakespeare. Really!
233 pp. 2009. Grades 9=9612. ISBN 978-0-8141-3904-2.
