Shakespeare — AMSND

William Shake­speare is the king of play­wrights, lead­ing the way for count­less oth­er mas­ters in his craft. Dur­ing this course, we will study the words, explore the themes, and exam­ine the forms of one of the Bard’s best loved plays: A Mid­sum­mer Night’s Dream.

This is an inde­pen­dent study course in which the stu­dent reads the play and watch­es the les­son to gain fur­ther insight and help with Shake­speare’s lan­guage.  Any writ­ing assign­ments or assess­ments are the respon­si­bil­i­ty of the par­ent educator. 

A list of writ­ing assign­ment ideas for the play are includ­ed for high school stu­dents pur­su­ing a cred­it or half cred­it in Shakespeare
