Hi Sarah. Hi Sarah. My name is Holly. Hi Sarah. My name is April. I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

I have a question about my name is Julie Ann and we live in India. I am wondering,

Hi Sarah. This is Crystal from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Can you give me a suggestion for an especially fabulous book?

Hey there. I'm Sarah McKenzie. This is the Read-A-Loud Revival. And in this short episode,

I'm answering one of your questions. Hi Sarah. This is Maria. And I am wondering if you could

share your method for teaching Shakespeare in your homeschool. Thank you. Thank you for this question Maria.

So around the same time that you sent this in, our Read-A-Loud Revival community director Courtney

Garrison and I had been talking about Shakespeare and how we were teaching in our homeschools. So I

invited her on so we could talk about this together. So, Quart, you are teaching the tempest in your

homeschool co-op right now. Is that right? Yes, yes. And even though we have a deep devotion to Shakespeare

in our house, this is the first time that I'm teaching formally. I feel like it's been a whole new

approach for me and I'm learning things that I could only learn from being right in the middle of

teaching. So what ages are the kids that you are in your homeschool co-op doing to tempest? We have a

mixed-age group from fourth grade to ninth grade. Oh wow, like a big white span. That's fantastic.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So first we want to say that there are a million ways to teach Shakespeare.

We are not here to teach you, quote unquote, how to teach Shakespeare all caps, right? There's not

a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. Well, there might be a wrong way to do it. We'll

talk about that in a second. But what we want to do today is help you, the listener, think about

your goals here so you can figure out the best way to move forward. Yeah. And so that starting with

our goals was so important for me as I was planning. In our co-op, some of the kids have done Shakespeare

before and some, this is their first time. And my goal was that this would not be their last time.

That they would be less intimidated, maybe have a few tools for the next play.
