The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610–1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servants—Caliban, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island. It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal, revenge, and family. In Act IV, a wedding masque serves as a play-within-the play, and contributes spectacle, allegory, and elevated language. Though The Tempest is listed in the First Folio as the first of Shakespeare's comedies, it deals with both tragic and comic themes, and modern criticism has created a category of romance for this and others of Shakespeare's late plays. The Tempest has been put to varied interpretations—from those that see it as a fable of art and creation, with Prospero representing Shakespeare, and Prospero's renunciation of magic signaling Shakespeare's farewell to the stage, to interpretations that consider it an allegory of Europeans colonizing foreign lands.
A full digital (can be used in person or ready-to-use for distance learning) unit for William Shakespeare's Macbeth designed for a 10-11th grade special education/inclusive classes, but could easily be used for 7th-12th grade classes. This is an 8 week unit. This unit includes study guides (Google docs) and corresponding presentations (Google slides) to accompany each lesson (each lesson covers about 2-5 scenes - depends on how long each scene in the play is). The whole unit is designed with a lot of built in scaffolds and gradually increases the academic rigor but still provides a lot of resources that help make understanding Shakespeare easy for students with learning disabilities. This unit also includes weekly "overviews" with a scope and sequence for the 8 week unit, quizzes for Acts 1-3 (Google forms), a final unit test (Google Form), a literary devices/quotes project, a soundtrack project, and a character development project. Everything is labeled by Unit (U) and Lesson (L) so it is easy to follow and virtually no prep is required! There are a lot of free resources available for Shakespeare's plays; however, they are typically targeted toward more advanced students. This unit allows students with various learning disabilities access the same content their general education peers are getting with the support of strategically differentiated lessons that include only ACCOMMODATIONS and no MODIFICATIONS. Your students will still read the original text (I pair the original text with the graphic novel version, and an audiobook), and do work that is aligned to CCSS for 9th and 10th grade. This unit makes the classic play engaging and fun for students who might otherwise find it hard to relate to the old tale.

Last week, I attended a county-wide Edcamp, and I had the opportunity to meet with English teachers from all of the school districts in our county. Not surprisingly, one of the major topics of concern was the challenge of teaching Shakespeare, and I get it. Like many teachers, I struggled to get my students to

NEW RESOURCE: This is a complete set of reading quizzes for all five acts of Hamlet. There are a total of 150 questions. About 20% of the questions repeat to allow for the five versions of each set, which is done to avoid cheating. The questions are divided into three sets: -----Set 1: Acts I & II. (50 questions, 5 versions) -----Set 2: Act III. (50 questions, 5 versions) -----Set 3: Acts IV & V. (50 questions, 5 versions) The questions ask students to name the speaker, the referent, the place, etc. from a word bank. (See Preview). A key to all the quizzes can be found in the document. Teachers all know that few kids will read assigned books unless they’re given reading quizzes. I want them to read, so I regularly use reading quizzes to make sure the reading happens. I always try to make my reading quizzes "Sparknotes-proof," so just reading summaries wouldn't be enough to pass these quizzes. OK, but why create multiple versions? Ever give a reading quiz 1st period that students who didn't read don’t do well on, but by the time you give the same quiz to your 4th period class, everyone is miraculously making 100s? Yep, that’s why. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . WHERE THESE READING QUIZZES MIGHT FIT INTO A LOGICALLY-CONSTRUCTED LITERARY UNIT: At the beginning of a full literary unit, I like to first have students complete a Meet the Author biography research document. Then, before students dive into the work, I want them to understand the difficult vocabulary they’ll encounter by having them complete a prereading vocabulary puzzle. Over the course of several weeks, students have reading assignments, take Reading Quizzes and complete Character Maps on the work while working on other things—usually involving grammar, writing style, and literary devices. Once we’ve completed the reading of the work, I have students complete a Plot Structure Mapping lesson so that students have a clear understanding of how the work is chronologically organized and how the major events of the work—including causes and effects associated with the inciting event, climax, and denouement—are tied in with conflicts and theme. After students have a clear grasp of plot analysis, I then begin having students focus on themes, motifs and symbols in the work through a Hexagonal Thinking game/lesson and develop a Literary Analysis Web in preparation for a literary analysis essay. From here, students should be quite capable of writing a literary argument essay on how the author utilizes these and other techniques to create meaning (themes) in the work. After a bit of peer editing & revising, this last essay serves as a cumulative assessment. Looking for additional materials? . . .

Manchmal braucht man die Worte eines anderen, um seine Geschichte zu erzählen ... Für das, was vor einem Jahr geschah, hat Willow keine Worte. Erst als sie die Rolle der Ophelia am städtischen Theater bekommt, sieht sie eine Chance, ihren Schmerz mit den Zeilen Shakespeares in die Welt zu schreien.

Doch um wieder wirklich zu leben, muss Willow ihre eigenen Worte finden ...
Synopsis Expand/Collapse Synopsis Chicago was the nation's deadliest city in 2001, recording 666 homicides. For lawyers in the Cook County Public Defender's Office Murder Task Force, that meant a steady flow of new clients. Eight out of ten people arrested for murder in Chicago are represented by public defenders. They're assigned the most challenging and seemingly hopeless cases, yet they always fight to win. One of those lawyers is Marijane Placek, a snakeskin boot-wearing, Shakespeare-quoting nonconformist whose courtroom bravado and sharp legal skills have made her a well-known figure around the courthouse. When an ex-convict was arrested on charges of killing a Chicago police officer that deadly year, Placek got the high-profile case, and her defense forms the hub around which the book's narrative revolves. Veteran journalist Kevin Davis reveals the compelling true story of a team of battle-scarred lawyers fighting against all odds. Unflinching, gripping, and full of surprises, Defending the Damned is an unforgettable human story and engaging courtroom drama where life and death hang in the balance. Davis explores the motives that compel these lawyers to come to work in this dark corner of the criminal justice system and exposes their insular and often misunderstood world. This groundbreaking work comes at a time when the country has seen how wrongful convictions have slipped through the system, that innocent people have been sent to death row, and that some police have lied or coerced suspects into confessing to crimes they did not commit. Such flaws drive these public defenders even harder to do their jobs, providing scrutiny to a long ignored and often broken system. Davis's reporting offers an unvarnished account of public defenders as never seen before. A powerful melding of courtroom drama and penetrating truecrime journalism, Defending the Damned is narrative nonfiction at its finest.
