Description

Teaching Shakespeare with Purpose A Student-Centred Approach by Ayanna Thompson and Laura Turchi is a new approach to teaching Shakespeare's plays. Rather than trying to cover everything, this book shows how to use Shakespeare's works as vehicles for collaborative exploration, releasing the texts from over-determined interpretations. By adopting a student-centred approach, teachers can develop intentional frames for discovery and enable students to explore complex topics such as history, socio-cultural norms, vocabulary, rhetoric, literary tropes and terminology. This lens-free approach centres the classroom on the students' needs, rather than the teacher's expertise, allowing Shakespeare's plays to be seen as living, breathing, and evolving texts. This book provides a framework for teaching Shakespeare with purpose, helping teachers to create engaging and effective lessons that meet the diverse needs of their students.
