Teaching Shakespeare Resources

Here you'll find teaching ideas from past participants. By the fall, your lessons might be among them.

Shakespeare: Subject to Change

This site, created by Mike LoMonico and Peggy O'Brien at Cable in the Classroom, will tell you all you need to know about the printing of Shakespeare's texts, and how Shakespeare's words were not handed down to Moses on the mountain.

In Search of Shakespeare

This PBS site, developed in partnership with the Folger Shakespeare Library, was designed around six thematic strands: Shakespeare's Language, Shakespeare on Film, Performance, Primary Sources, Teaching Shakespeare to Elementary Students, and Teaching Shakespeare with Technology. Under each theme you will find professional development strategies and lesson plans, a multimedia library of curriculum resources, and much more. Each component integrates the study of Shakespeare's greatest works with his life and the times that defined him. Plus, you'll recognize some of the contributors.
