Teaching Shakespeare
A four-week institute for twenty-five school teachers on William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Romeo and Juliet, to be held at the Folger Shakespeare Library.
The Folger Shakespeare Library proposes Teaching Shakespeare 2014, a four-week institute for secondary school teachers. A group of 25 participants, working with a faculty of resident and visiting scholars, resident actors and theater specialists, and curriculum consultants, will undertake an intensive study of the intellectual, pedagogical, and theatrical challenges of two of Shakespeare’s plays, TWELFTH NIGHT and ROMEO AND JULIET, as well as acquaint them with digital resources that can be employed to better engage and resolve them within the classroom. Participants and faculty will approach these works via primary resources in order to reconstruct historical and cultural contexts; study production history (especially on film) to examine the play text’s live medium; engage in theatrical practice in order to convey the necessity of strong and well-considered interpretation; and explore new pedagogical technologies, including digital editions of the plays.

2008 Tour of Teaching Shakespeare Institutes
Two regional one-week workshops, serving thirty teachers in Lincoln, Nebraska, and another thirty in the greater Atlanta area, coupling performance-based and primary source approaches to the teaching of two plays of Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet.
In the summer of 2008, the Folger Shakespeare Library will organize and offer week-long faculty humanities workshops on Teaching Shakespeare in Lincoln, Nebraska and Greater Atlanta, Georgia. We are coordinating these workshops for secondary school teachers of English, drama, and humanities with local partners, including the University of Nebraska?Lincoln, the Georgia Council of Teachers of English, and Kennesaw State University in Georgia. The 2008 tour allows us to expand the institutes to the Southeastern and Midwest United States?areas where the Folger has had little reach in the past. We ask the National Endowment for the Humanities to consider a grant of $68,845 to support this regional tour of Teaching Shakespeare institutes.
