At the workshop, teachers learn how to evaluate resources
(including those online) and techniques for integrating technology
effectively into teaching Shakespeare in the classroom, as
well as an introduction to Shakespeare-related software.
Cambridge University Press provides books
for the workshop.
The first half of the workshop includes:
* General Thoughts About Teaching Shakespeare
* Working With Subtext
* Creating Two-line Scenes, a
non-threatening means to get students on their feet.
* Performing a Scene
The second half continues with:
* Close Analysis of Text
* Examining Shakespeare's Texts, various versions of quartos
and folios promote understanding
* Looking at plays not traditionally taught in schools, particularly
the comedies

Education Department.
"The workshop provided lots of strategies
for getting students to work actively with the texts."
