Shakespeare

We just saw Gnomeo and Juliet, so I thought I would do a little Shakespeare unit for Rachel. Maybe I'll open it up to a few kids. :-)

Shakespeare is difficult to introduce to younger students. I just want my 8-year-old to know that he was a famous playwright and perhaps read a Midsummer's Night's Dream to her.

In the meantime, I found some kid-friendly Shakespearan activities.

- A cut out that can be put together of the Globe Theatre.

- A mini-poster of Shakespearan quotes.

- A lesson plan at pbs.org

- A synopsis of Midsummer's Night's Dream.

- Some kid activities.

- And some printables from the movie website.
