Product Description

“To become intimate with Shakespeare in this way is a great enrichment of mind and instruction of conscience.”—Charlotte Mason

Now you can help your students become familiar with Shakespeare’s imaginative stories, memorable characters, and brilliant lines in three simple steps:

  1. Read the story.
  2. Hear the script.
  3. Watch the play.

Shakespeare in Three Steps: Hamlet provides everything you need:

  • A well-written story version of the play by E. Nesbit—a classic narrative that has been providing a wonderful introduction to Hamlet for decades.
  • The complete script of the play with helpful notes to explain unusual terms or add to your understanding of Shakespeare’s stories, characters, and lines. When you purchase a printed version of Shakespeare in Three Steps, you will also receive the e-book version in PDF form so you can easily make copies of the included script for your students.
  • An outlined plan for walking through the script, divided into manageable portions with quick recaps, scene introductions, and summaries that will guide you each step of the way. We highly recommend using the excellent audio dramatization from Arkangel Shakespeare for this step, so students can hear the lines delivered masterfully from the very beginning.
  • Script highlights, featuring well-known or just ponder-worthy lines, that will gently introduce the Bard’s genius and cultivate an appreciation for his wonderful way with words.
  • Parental advisories to give you a heads-up on scenes that may contain material inappropriate for children.
  • Helpful lists of the characters in the scenes and the number of lines each one speaks, so you can assign parts knowledgeably for reading sessions or acting roles.
  • Candid reviews of several video recordings of the play to save you time previewing and help you select an appropriate presentation for your students to watch and enjoy.

Hamlet

Recommended for Grades 9–12
Tragedy

Summary: Shakespeare’s Hamlet is the dramatic tale of a king who was murdered by his brother and returned as a ghost to send his son, Prince Hamlet, on a mission of revenge. But, though passionate about avenging his father, Hamlet was more scholar than fighter and not suited to such a task. In the process of wrestling with his own life and perspectives, many additional lives were lost. Was it justice? A tragic waste? Let the reader decide.
