Resource:In Search of Shakespeare
Provider:PBS
Summary:Model the writing and language of William Shakespeare by exercising and refining skills of observation, identifying and creating images of nature, and employ creative and descriptive writing skills to communicate ideas.
Description:"While Shakespeare may not be common on the elementary school curriculum, his poetry is a natural match for students in 4th and 5th grades. The students relish the sound of Shakespeare's language - his wonderfully inventive words and powerful rhythms - as well as his vivid descriptions. While it may not be appropriate to give elementary students an entire play to read, they can dig into a short passage or scene with great attention and enjoyment.
This lesson plan uses Shakespeare's writing as a model for elementary students, encouraging them use their imaginations to explore to the evocative powers of language. It gives them a manageable piece of text which they can master and then use as a springboard for their own writing."
