SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

This creative resource helps bring the words of William Shakespeare and the pageantry of Elizabethan England into the classroom. Teachers are provided with instructions for building an Elizabethan stage for puppet shows, incorporating period language into everyday activities, designing costumes, putting on a banquet complete with contests (e.g., best costume, recitation, poster) and entertainment by jesters, and creating a Shakespeare exhibit. The resource includes ideas for fundraising and for staging both classroom and schoolwide festivals. Grades 5–9. Illustrated. 8½" x 11". Interact.
