AB: This lesson plan complements study of plot and characterization in "Romeo and Juliet" by focusing on Shakespeare's use of lyric forms and conventions to spotlight moments in the drama and thereby heightens the impact of the action on the stage. Students look first at the sonnet in which Romeo and Juliet meet, analyzing the imagery to gain insight into the way Shakespeare's use of love sonnet conventions characterizes the moment and the relationship between the lovers. Then students act the passage to notice how Shakespeare stage manages this moment and consider what perspective his making the lovers almost literally "kiss by the book" lends to readers' perception of their characters. Finally, students enact the scene in which this moment occurs in order to notice how Shakespeare combines poetic forms, ranging from the almost-prose of Capulet and the Nurse to the melodramatic style of Tybalt, to achieve something akin to the cuts and framing that are possible in film. To conclude, students work in groups to find similar moments in the play (e.g., the balcony scene, the tomb scene, etc.) where Shakespeare spotlights the action through lyric form and at the same time invites the audience to see through the idealization of lyric conventions by having the characters act out these conceits on stage. The lesson plan also contains the subject areas covered in the lesson, time required to complete the lesson, the skills used in the lesson, the grade level (9-12), and lists of the standards developed by professional or government associations that are related to the lesson, as well as activities to extend the lesson.

DE: *Acting-; *Individual-Needs; *Language-Role; *Mental-Health
DE: Emotional-Response; High-Schools
AB: Young people need a gymnasium for the expression of their passions: Shakespeare provides it. People who do not exercise their feelings cannot develop the strength to exercise their passions, and unexercised passions can seem to atrophy. It is even more likely that unexercised and unexpressed passions leak into pathways of the body chemistry where they turn to poison and make individuals ill. The physical and psycho-physical act of speaking Shakespeare can have a therapeutic effect on the emotional health of the speaker. In "Richard III," Richard's mother, the Duchess of York, and Queen Elizabeth need lessons from the old Queen Margaret before they can suitably confront the evil personified in Richard. Margaret delivers a magnificent enumeration of her son's disastrous life. Shakespeare can be the tutor in emotional eloquence for those who exercise with the barbells of his language. A first class with students who had nothing but contempt and loathing for Shakespeare was devoted to insults. The so-called "positive" emotions--happiness, love, tenderness--tend to be given precedence in society's judgment, but if equality is not observed within the emotional realm, the so-called "negative" emotions may well stage a coup and overthrow the government. Shakespeare and Company's work with young people has shown time and again that troubled and depressed students can find themselves in Shakespeare. In the last 20 years Shakespeare and Company's education program has grown into a formidable force in the surrounding community, reaching more than 40,000 students and teachers in the northeast United States every year with performances.

AB: By immersing young learners in the life and times of Shakespeare and his characters, this book motivates students and helps them learn. It contains everything teachers need to introduce elementary students to four plays: "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Macbeth," "Hamlet," and "Romeo and Juliet." For each play, there is a complete historical background, an introduction to the characters, a simple retelling of the story, a variety of activities that span the curriculum, verses for memorization, a complete script for class performance, and a list of resources. Geared to elementary grades, it can easily be adapted to the needs of older students. It begins with an introductory section that sets the stage, and it concludes with responses from parents and students about the activities in the book. (RS)

AB: Multimedia hypertext materials have instructional advantages when used as adjuncts in traditional classes and as the primary means of instruction, as illustrated in this case study of college-level Shakespeare classes. Plays become more accessible through use of audio and video resources, including video clips from play productions. Student work can be included as models, and updating or expansion of texts is as easy as changing HTML files. With over 40 hours of instruction per play module, assignments can be individualized to student needs and used repeatedly--for instruction, clarification, make-up on missed classes, or review for exams. Materials for each play include three lectures and seven topics for exploration (issues, character, plotting, genre, critics, staging, and background); instructional aids on cast, story line, literary terms, and references, as well as access to a searchable text of Shakespeare's works, are included. Results over 5 years of development and revision are reported. Topics discussed inclu

DE: *Figurative-Language; *Sonnets-; *Writing-Instruction
DE: Classics-Literature; Writing-Skills
AB: When readers encounter Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73," they often fail to realize that it is an excellent model of what a good composition ought to be. The closing couplet functions the same way a thesis would in a prose work. The repetition of wording within the analogies in the three quatrains helps to make the work coherent. In addition, the diminishing time frame adds to the coherence because it would be impossible to reposition the quatrains without destroying coherence. The quatrains gain their unity by virtue of being so clearly connected to the same theme--the imminence of death as it relates to the endstage of all four cycles: the dying year, the dying day, the dying fire, the dying human. The poet achieves emphasis by repeating the same theme with varied images and varied analogies focused on the lover's complaint. It can be seen that "Sonnet 73" contains the bare essentials of good composition: coherence, unity, and emphasis. It teaches a respect for organization, a respect for flow, and a respect for focus. More than anything else, "Sonnet 73" reveals that the art of writing is essentially the art of thinking. (CR)
