It demonstrates how the plays can engage young readers in exciting, immersive and fun literacy lessons and illustrates how the powerful themes, iconic characters and rich language remain relevant today.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!
