Duration: 36 weeks

Third grade introduces the immortal bard using child-friendly retellings of twelve of Shakespeare's works including A Midsummer's Night Dream, The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, and All's Well That Ends Well. Children create character maps, set the scene, construct simple costumes, order major plot events, and recite lines. This course begins preparation for the study of Shakespeare's plays in their original form. The website integrates story text, pictures, and audio readings. This course provides lesson guides with descriptions, vocabulary, concepts, review questions, and enrichment activities for all stories.
