It means freeing teachers from the notion that teaching Shakespeare means teaching everything, or teaching \"Western Civilisation\" and universal themes. Instead, this invigorating new book equips teachers to enable student-centred discovery of these complex texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause Shakespeare's plays are excellent vehicles for many topics -history, socio-cultural norms and mores, vocabulary, rhetoric, literary tropes and terminology, performance history, performance strategies - it is tempting to teach his plays as though they are good for teaching everything. This lens-free approach, however, often centres the classroom on the teacher as the expert and renders Shakespeare's plays as fixed, determined, and dead. \u003ci\u003eTeaching Shakespeare with Purpose\u003c\/i\u003e shows teachers how to approach Shakespeare's works as vehicles for collaborative exploration, to develop intentional frames for discovery, and to release the texts from over-determined interpretations. In other words, this book presents how to teach Shakespeare's plays as living, breathing, and evolving texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ayanna Thompson,Laura Turchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472599616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472599612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Ayanna Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175402615039,"sku":"9781472599612","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6d16648-b5b0-4347-aadf-7f5700331150.jpg?v=1771333550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-shakespeare-with-purpose-ayanna-thompson-9781472599612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
