Main goal of this class is to make the reading of Shakespeare fun. This class will include two tragedies, one history and two comedies. We will not be reading the full plays but encourage the learner to read the various children versions of these Shakespearean plays. It might be handy to have the full version of the plays available to compare to the children versions.

There will be quotes to try and find in the reading of each play. The student will discuss questions, true and false statements about the play, and note that there are phrases or words from Shakespeare's plays that are present even today. The teacher will give thoughtful information about the play each week. A narration starter will be available for each play with the student writing several sentences about a particular scene or character in the play for example. The learner will play a game or do an activity such as art, making comics, doing a review, a Mad Lib, etc. to reinforce that week's read. 

Plays are: Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, Twelfth Night, and A Midsummer’s Night Dream.
