Shakespeare is a central shaping and defining figure in our
culture. His plays are being taught, filmed, and performed every
day in many places and in most of the world's languages. At the
same time, teachers and students from junior high through the early
undergraduate years often struggle with the Bard in discomfort and
negativity that can only be counter-productive. Teaching
Shakespeare into the Twenty-First Century is by teachers and for
teachers. Specifically, it is a collection of essays in which
teachers describe their best ideas and experiences as they confront
the challenges of bringing Shakespeare alive for students who often
feel intimidated and less than eager to participate. It is on
behalf of these students that this book has been prepared. Written
by middle school, high school, and college teachers from around the
country, the essays record successful efforts at bringing
Shakespeare and the student together in fresh, exciting, and
productive ways. From today's performance techniques, designed to
make students active participants in the learning process, through
a host of extra-textual resources such as festivals and films, to a
look at applications of the computer and cyberspace, Teaching
Shakespeare into the Twenty-First Century is a book of success
stories. Covering the most contemporary issues, critical theory,
and classroom approach, it is designed to provide teachers with a
useful, friendly, and forward-looking resource as they continue to
make Shakespeare available into the future.
