Michelle in AL Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Since many are planning English now, I thought I'd share a great resource for Shakespeare: Shakespeare Set Free teaching Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo & Juliet and MacBeth by Folger Shakespeare Library. It is definitely for groups only, but is worth getting about 6 or more kids to study once a week or so. It makes Shakespeare fun and understandable. It has an activity for each day. Romeo & Juliet is spread over 6 weeks. We are reading a scene a week and getting together with others for about 4 of the activities/act each week.

Michelle in MO Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 but a couple of summers ago my husband had a business trip to a very small town in Alabama. We stayed for a couple of nights in Montgomery, and they had the Alabama Shakespeare Festival there! We didn't get to see any plays, but from what I read, they have the 6th largest Shakespeare festival in the world! (Or, is it in America?) At any rate, the grounds were beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Art Museum next door. Fabulous! Some original Rembrandt drawings! Anyway, we came away very impressed with Montgomery! Since you're an Alabama native, you probably already know about these things, but I just thought I'd share. Thanks for the Shakespeare resource!

Michelle in AL Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi Michelle, We're actually on the coast, but my mom lives outside Montgomery. We're going to a play there for the first time next month! Alabama is surprisingly good! Blessings, Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
