K-12 resources make Shakespeare accessible to younger audiences

How I Use It

Middle school students often struggle with the difficult language and sometimes adult-level content of Shakespeare's plays, and the Folger Shakespeare Library website can help bridge the gap between their reading ability and experiences and those portrayed in Shakespeare's writing. Teachers can access videos, lessons, and even collections of materials supporting the teaching of a whole popular play. I also subscribe to their Bard Notes e-newsletters to keep updated with new lesson plans, videos and other materials.
