Shakespeare Resources



What's Schoolin'?

The olders have already had several exposures to Shakespeare.  They performed in a play that incorporated several of his plays, including a part of The Tempest.  They have read Julius Caesar and A Midsummer Night's Dream.  Youngest dd has listened to the original play of A Midsummer Night's Dream and performed in a Seussified version of the same.  Here are some more resources...

I have not yet perused this site but it looks fantastic:

Here is a hilarious version of Who's on First in Shakespearean.  Note:  If you or your child isn't familiar with Who's on First, you should watch that first. (Thanks, Professor Carol, for sharing this link!)
