The Shakespeare Set Free series is absolutely indispensable for anyone who plans to teach the bard in middle or high school. I found a dog-eared copy of this thing in my library at school last year when I taught Hamlet, and the kids absolutely loved the lessons I adapted from it. Solid, teachable, fun ways to get really complex ideas and language across to kids.
I'm currently preparing to teach Shakespeare for the first time. To 8th graders. This means that I'm currently some mix of incredibly excited and overwhelmingly terrified. The lessons in this book, however, make planning a unit manageable and fun. Highly recommended.
A must-have for anyone who teaches Shakespeare. I would love to go to one of Folger's mini-institutes someday!
The only complaint I have is the author's unrealistic gauge of lesson time; most of these are hard to fit into a 70 minute period without rushing activities, keeping discussion short, or cutting out parts.
Doesn't get good until p.27, but all of the lessons are practical and useful.
I haven't dove in like I should with this one admittedly, but thus far I really think it's a great resource.
