As You Like It

Henry IV, Part 1 A charming coming-of-age story in which Hal, a prince with a penchant for practical jokes, must step up when his nation and his father need him most. |
A Midsummer Night's Dream This 15-class-period unit was designed for the middle school classroom, but is easily adapted for secondary school use. An ideal companion with Romeo and Juliet—a VERY different "take" on the ancient Greek Pyramus and Thisbe myth that students just LOVE! |
Sonnets of William Shakespeare These sonnet reading and poetry writing lessons may be used at any grade level. |
The Tempest This unit, currently in use with third-graders at Murray Elementary School, works better than magic to get young readers hooked on Shakespeare! And it will work just as well with any age group! |
Twelfth Night This unit has been piloted in at least five schools in western Kentucky, mostly with eighth graders. Shakespeare in the Schools Partner teachers: please send your most successful lesson plans and writing prompts from your Twelfth Night units! |
Twelfth Night in ONE Day! You can introduce your students to this fun and action-packed play using the activities included in the Twelfth Night in ONE Day lesson plan! |
