RAR #266 How to Do Shakespeare (and Actually Enjoy It)

On the last episode of the Read-Aloud Revival, we talked about why Shakespeare is not a school subject. I hope we were able to convince you!

But if we know that Shakespeare isn’t a school subject or an item on a checklist, how do we actually do it? And how do we make Shakespeare not just doable in our homeschools, but delightful?

Today, we’ll talk through a simple framework your family can use to experience one of the richest and most rewarding literary treasures in the world in a way that is absolutely magical and a whole lot of fun.

I'm willing to bet that if you implement the framework that we discuss in this episode, you won’t mistake Shakespeare for a school subject ever again!

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• Why we don’t start teaching Shakespeare with the original text
• Simple, easy ways to build connections with Shakespeare’s works and with each other
• How incorporating performance makes Shakespeare come alive for the whole family
