I JUST FOUND A BOOK! Required reading for Shakespeare study!

Missceegee- I was able to see the article, Bauer brings up some great points, I’m glad you shared it.

I just finished reading a book called “The Wednesday Wars”... excellent novel about a boy in a 7th grade class and when he is forced to spend a period alone with the teacher every Wednesday, she has him read Shakespeare.  Such a sweet story. I read it just for myself but will read it to my 10 year old soon. Not sure if it’s been mentioned on the forums yet but thought I’d mention it.

Also Sarah Mackenzie interviewed him on the Read-Aloud Revival podcast. It is episode 6.

forgive me I know this is an old thread….
We used Ken Ludwig’s book last year to study “A Midsummer Nights Dream.” I LOVED the first chapter and we enjoyed memorizing the first selection… after that I edited it a bit for appropriateness and we did not  memorize every selection he chose, mainly because I thought “do I feel this is beautiful and worthy of my children committing it to their hearts.
Anyhow the next play he goes over is Twelfth Night, which is what I plan to study this next year and I started flipping though the chapters on this play and now I’m just unsure… then I found this thread, and Susan Wise Bauer’s article. It really sums up my concerns.  So now I’m just unsure of what exactly to do.  :/
I do own both Nesbit’s Shakespeare book and the Lambs Shakespeare book and was planning on reading the play and then listening to the audio and then using Ludwig’s book mainly for explanation and memorization.
I’m not familiar enough with Shakespeare to feel confident picking a passage or two for memorization work. Is there anywhere I can go to find WHAT passages to memorize?
