Shakespeare in American Communities
Shakespeare in American Communities is one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the National Endowment for the Arts. But this project cannot succeed without the support and involvement of teachers in schools across the country. What happens in the classroom is just as important as what happens on the stage.
1 Shakespeare was the oldest child in his family. He had seven siblings! 2 He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, in the country of England on April 23, 1564. 3 He married a woman named Anne Hathaway, and together they had three children -- Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. 4 Shakespeare wrote his first play when he was about 25 years old. 5 Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets during his career. 6 Shakespeare actually performed in some of his plays as an actor! 7 Shakespeare wrote his own epitaph -- the words on his tombstone. In it, he cursed anyone who would dare to move his bones.

Shakespeare Uncovered
Shakespeare Uncovered explores the complete plays of William Shakespeare—one of the greatest writers to have ever lived. From his comedies to histories to tragedies, the series looks at the stories that have shaped our cultural history: seeking out each play’s inspiration, finding the moments and places that set every scene, as well as examining the words that gave life to Shakespeare’s world both in the past and present. This thematic collection -- which adheres to national learning standards -- contains video segments from the series, informational texts, discussion questions, and suggestions for extension activities to enhance your students’ reading, viewing, and appreciation of Shakespeare’s works.Here is a basic Romeo and Juliet Starter Packet. It has the building blocks for a Romeo and Juliet Unit, but leaves most of the planning up to you. In it I have handouts, lesson plans, and best of all, a Romeo and Juliet final exam, all ready to go.
