Episode 63 - Teaching Shakespeare

<p>It's something we've talked about relentlessly on this podcast: teaching Shakespeare is hard. Between the dense language, historical context, and cultural weight of the name "Shakespeare" there are a ton of barriers to getting students invested in the words of Billy S.</p> <p>So this episode we gathered together three teachers (including Lindsay) and talked all about the educational process. Resources, special techniques, success stories and challenges - all the topics we could think of to discuss with other educators. If you've ever wondered what goes into a teacher's plan for Shakespeare class, or considered sending your child off to a summer drama camp that's all about Shakespeare, take a listen in on our experts' discussion!</p> <p>Notes:</p> <ul><li>Huge shout out to our two guests, Francis and Rachel, who joined us from the UK and Oregon, respectively, to share their experiences and wisdom about teaching Shakespeare!</li> <li><a href='https://www.majestic.org/'>Majestic Theatre</a> is where our Rachel plies her trade as bard director and performer for hire.
