Shaking up Shakespeare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645489644)

This is the book I wanted and needed when I started teaching.

This book will change how you see Shakespeare.

This book has been written with teachers in mind. Whether you are new to teaching needing a helping hand, or an experienced teacher looking for something to reinvigorate your classroom practice with Shakespeare, you will find this an invaluable resource.

This book contains:

• four complete units of work.

Shakespeare is the most revered and challenging author that we have the privilege to present to our students. The way that we present this titan of English literature can influence our students' perceptions of his works for the rest of their lives. Let's make Shakespeare exciting and fun. Let's shake up Shakespeare.
