30. It is more important to get
kids to like Shakespeare
than it is to get them to
understand every word.
31. The best way to get kids to
like Shakespeare is by
getting them to perform
Shakespeare.
32. Performing Shakespeare does not
mean having students sit at their
desks reading out loud, or having
students stand in front of the room
reading out loud, or the teacher
acting out scenes for the class.
33. Acting out a scene is a
form of close reading on
your feet.
34. Sometimes it is better to
do just part of a play
rather than the whole
play.
41. Designing Globe Theaters out of sugar
cubes and Popsicle sticks, making
Elizabethan newspapers, designing
costumes, doing a scavenger hunt on the
Internet, or doing a report on Elizabethan
sanitary conditions has nothing to do with
a student’s appreciation of Shakespeare’s
language.
