Objective:
Students will be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of who William Shakespeare was, the language he used, and recall a handful of the plays he wrote. Do Now: Students will work independently to answer a prompt projected on the board (minimum of 4 complete sentences). Whole Class: I'll take a few moments to inform/remind students of the following:
Independent: Students will continue through various handouts of Shakespearean language and they will finish with Cornell notes on the Renaissance in England. I will also show them 2 short videos specifically focused on Shakespeare's use of language. Lastly, students will read and annotate a handout about understanding Shakespeare's language. Collaborative: Students will work collaboratively to figure out modern day equivalents to certain middle English phrases and learn about the other languages that influenced English. They will also read several excerpts of Shakespeare's plays and have to write a summary for the scene. Students will do several "pair and share"s throughout the period to summarize what they've learned and ask clarifying questions of their partner.
