Product Description
FOLGER Shakespeare Library THE WORLD'S LEADING CENTER FOR SHAKESPEARE STUDIES The Folger Shakespeare Library is one of the world's leading centers for scholarship, learning, and culture. The Folger is dedicated to advancing knowledge and increasing understanding of Shakespeare and the early modern period; it is home to the world's largest Shakespeare collection and one of the leading collections of books and materials of the entire early modern period (1500-1750). Combining a worldclass research library and scholarly programs; leadership in curriculum, training, and publishing for K-12 education; and award-winning performing arts, exhibitions, and lectures, the Folger is Shakespeare's home in America. This volume of the Shakespeare Set Free series is written by institute faculty and participants, and includes the latest developments in recent scholarship. It bristles with the energy created by teaching and learning Shakespeare from the text and through active performance, and reflects the experience, wisdom, and wit of real classroom teachers in schools and colleges throughout the United States. In this book, you'll find the following: - Clearly written essays by leading scholars to refresh teachers and challenge older students
- Michael Tolaydo's brilliant and accessible technique for classroom teaching through performance
- Day-by-day teaching strategies that successfully and energetically immerse students of every grade and skill level in the language and in the plays themselves -- created, taught, and written by real teachers

Fabulous resource for teaching Shakespeare ( ingrid_in_nc )
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.
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.
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).
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.

Fantastic
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!
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
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!

This best Shakespeare teaching guide available ( macyparker )
I have used this book to teach Macbeth to 7th graders, and I know several high school teachers who swear by it for grades 9 - 12. It contains helpful critical articles to keep teachers up to date on the latest research in the field, as well as day by day lesson plans. Each unit plan is for about 30 days and contains a variety of performance, film analysis, and close reading lessons as well as quizzes, project topics, and final assignments. Lessons can be easily adapted to fit any grade level, required lesson plan structure, or set of state standards. This is the only book you need to buy.
