Part 1 explores the place of classic texts in modern classrooms - how teachers can invite children to make meaning from Shakespeare's words - and considers key issues such as gender and race, and embraces modern technology and digital storytelling. Part 2 presents Shakespeare's plays: The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth and The Winter's Tale. For each play, there is a suggested sequence of activities that will guide teachers through the process of inspiring children, incubating ideas and making connections all before responding to it through drama, writing and other subjects.
You don't need to be an actor, a scholar or even an extrovert to get the best out of Shakespeare! Written by experienced teachers, this book is an essential resource for teachers of all levels of experience who want to teach creative, engaging and memorable lessons.

"This is not simply a book about Shakespeare but one that sponsors a love and lustre for those who wish to promote a love of learning and language. The text looks at the relevance of word play and linguistic analysis, providing practical and accessible examples of how to develop a passion for literature and ignite the imagination of children when introducing them to a range of Shakespeare's plays. Packed with ideas for teaching, we see how to expertly deconstruct, reassemble, infer meaning from, identify key themes within and deliver language with passion, purpose and gusto!
The relevance of the works for a 21st century audience is examined in an accessible and entertaining format. This book is engaging from the off, inviting the reader to re-evaluate their previous experiences of Shakespeare; always through our authors' expert reimagined eye."
