Description
Teaching Reading Shakespeare offers practical and critical guidance for secondary teachers looking to overcome common difficulties when teaching Shakespeare. John Haddon provides creative approaches that engage children with the text, while also addressing challenging issues such as language difficulties and interpretation. The book considers how Shakespeare's plays present problems to young readers and offers solutions for overcoming these challenges. It covers topics including confronting language barriers, reading plays as scripts for performance, and using conversation analysis to help students read and teach Shakespeare. This practical discussion is designed to support teachers in providing a more effective learning experience for their students. By exploring the ways in which Shakespeare's plays can be taught and learned, Teaching Reading Shakespeare provides valuable insights for all training and practising secondary teachers.
