I was wondering how I would go about making lesson plans for the Shakespeare In Three Easy Steps books. Do the books come with lesson plans? I am also wondering how long it takes to get through a play, and would this count as a half high school credit?
Thank you
The main part of the Shakespeare in Three Steps books is divided into lessons, with each one requiring 20 minutes or fewer (Step 2). If you download a sample and look at the Contents page, you’ll see how the Acts and Scenes are divided into lessons. Then if you add one lesson at the beginning for Step 1 (to read the story version) and one lesson at the end for Step 3 (to watch the play performance), you would have your planning done. Most of the plays we have available so far can be done in a term (12 weeks).
Studying a Shakespeare play would certainly count toward a high school literature credit, but I don’t think it would amount to a half credit by itself. If you’re going by time involved, a half credit would require about 60–75 hours of work. Working through Macbeth, for example, would take only about 7 hours all together: 20 minutes each for 11 sessions, then 3 or so hours to watch a full performance.
I hope this helps!
