Opis

What do students think about Shakespeare? Classic, timeless and full of rich ideas; or difficult, impenetrable and completely uninteresting? We want young people to develop a real interest in Shakespeare, based on their understanding and engagement with the texts. This practical book enables teachers to organize, stimulate, and support group discussion that will help students to relate to the characters and develop their own ideas about the language and meaning.
