Description
Class Experience
Students will take away a deeper appreciation and a new or renewed sense of joy about Shakespeare as well as tips on memorization.
As a college student at Oxford University, I had the amazing experience of visiting the Globe Theatre and studying its architecture. My love of Shakespeare’s work runs deep. My family and I have visited the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, frequently, and my daughter has studied Shakespeare through intensive classes at the Shakespeare Theatre Company and received one-on-one instruction on memorization from Ken Ludwig himself.
To prepare a birthday card for Shakespeare. Once enrolled, students will receive an invitation to the virtual party with instructions.
Pen/pencil/markers and paper. Building bricks, clay or paper or other items on hand may be used to make a model cake. Also, students may bring a glass of water, juice, or tea, and their own refreshments.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Kenneth Ludwig’s “How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare” will be discussed as well as Sonnet 18, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and a MacBeth parody.
