Many parents love the idea of teaching their kids Shakespeare, but don't know where to start. Shakespeare for Teens is a perfect way to engage your teen in the history, geography, text, and life of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare's works are most fun when experienced with peers. We will use active learning to explore universal stories and themes that are still pertinent in today's world. By studying the Sonnets, one tragedy, and one comedy, students will deepen their language, gain a sense of themselves, and discover the universality of the human condition. Fun and engaging activities coupled with "The Queen's Challenges" will give your students more confidence when entering the world of The Bard.
By the end of the semester, students will understand the difference between intent and interpretation and have the confidence to share a scene and monologue at our "Night with the Bard" event.
Classical Theater will be offered for the second semester for an additional .5 elective credit.

This class is taught the second semester as a 14 week class with a showcase at the end of the year. Usually the week after last class. Many student enjoy theater but are not interested in musical theater. If that is your student they will love this class. We focus on aspects of theater from the roots, how it has been used to tell stories and change lives, and how it has changed over the years. We expolore all production aspects and put on a classic play. The play is chosen from a variety of plays we bring to class and study. Each student will participate in a production role as well as an on stage role. Language and character development are deepened.
This class can be a stand alone class or a continuation of the Shakespeare class from first semester. It is not necessary to take Shakespeare in order to take this class.
