Learning to love Shakespeare through in depth readings and discussions of King Lear
Class experience
US Grade 8 - 11
Everyone is familiar with the name of Shakespeare, though it can often be difficult (especially for teens) to learn to admire and appreciate Shakespeare.

If it isn't already obvious, I love King Lear. In fact, my oldest child was named after one of the characters in King Lear (*NERD ALERT*). In my college years, I studied King Lear with a professor who took a similar approach to teaching Shakespeare.

So with more exposure to King Lear, our appreciation for it will expand and consequentially so will our appreciation for Shakespeare.
A copy of King Lear is required. You can find one here for free, http://shakespeare.mit.edu/lear/full.html, though I do recommend having a paperback copy on hand.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
King Lear contains violence. If your learner chooses to watch a production of King Lear, it very likely will be gory.
