Re: A Modern Reading List for High School?
Do not make the students read Shakespeare. Take them instead to a performance of a local Shakespeare company after a couple of classes discussing Shakespeare. (Introduction to the context of the time period, samples of his writing in class disciphered with help of the instructor, etc.) The students will get 10 times more out of it. Why is it so many so called "experts" seem to gloss over the fact that these literary works were created to be seen and heard, not read on a page?
