Book Description

Teaching Success Guide for the Advanced Placement Classroom 2009
Advanced Placement Classroom: A Midsummer Night's Dream takes students inside Shakespeare's well-loved comedy by providing teachers and students with a detailed overview of the play, along with interesting and challenging activities geared for the advanced language arts student. Students will examine Shakespeare's inventive language by collecting words and phrases to use later in a "Sweet-Talk Challenge," akin to a modern-day poetry slam; discover the history behind the play by researching and giving presentations on Elizabethan occupations; and recognize the challenge of performance by reenacting scenes.

Prufrock's new line of innovative teaching guides for the Advanced Placement classroom are designed to engage students with creative learning activities that ensure Advanced Placement success. The Teaching Success Guide for the Advanced Placement Classroom series helps teachers motivate students above and beyond the norm by introducing investigative, hands-on activities including debates, role-plays, experiments, projects, and more, all based on Advanced Placement and college-level standards for learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for a great play!, March 1, 2011
This review is from: Advanced Placement Classroom: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Teaching Success Guide for the Advanced Placement Classroom) (Paperback)
I think this book makes an excellent addition to any Drama teacher or English teacher's classroom library. Chock full of wonderful insights on how Shakespeare wrote, this book will help any educator bring the work to life. Not just theory, the fact that the contents of this book have been tried and tested is a testament to its usefulness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent classroom resource!, February 24, 2011
This review is from: Advanced Placement Classroom: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Teaching Success Guide for the Advanced Placement Classroom) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book for teachers who want to incorporate Shakespeare into their classroom, as well as for those who currently do so. The authors make using Shakespeare easy for teachers who are not necessarily comfortable with the material, while at the same time providing ample support, resources, and ideas for teachers who are fluent with Shakespeare. This book is a must have for all English Language Arts professionals!
