In \u003ci\u003eReading Shakespeare Film First\u003c\/i\u003e, Mary Ellen Dakin asserts that we need to read Shakespeare in triplicate--as the stuff of transformative literature, theater, and film. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe potential for the mutual reinforcement and transfer of twenty-first-century literacy skills between text and film is too promising for classroom teachers to overlook. The heart of this book is a triangle whose three points are literary, theatrical, and cinematic; the chapters map a route around the perimeter of the triangle, guiding teachers and students with carefully researched and classroom-tested strategies for crossing over from Shakespeare's rich and strange early modern English to equally rich and strange modern film and illustrated productions of his plays. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, readers engage in reading and analyzing film stills, movie posters, and book covers; recognizing the three faces of film: literary, theatrical, and cinematic; exploring in depth the theatrical and cinematic elements of Shakespeare and then reconnecting them to the text; reading Shakespeare in full-length films; and transmediating Shakespeare's scripts into theater and film. As the \"old\" language of Shakespeare is constantly renewed through the \"new\" language of film, students develop twenty-first-century literacy skills through a marriage of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Ellen Dakin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814139078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814139073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 9.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Mary Ellen Dakin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129243431167,"sku":"9780814139073","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53bb922b-6605-435e-8d1b-ee4e22ce3b84.jpg?v=1687462830","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-shakespeare-film-first-mary-ellen-dakin-9780814139073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
