Product Description

Product Description
Invaluable support for all teachers of Shakespeare in schools, colleges and institutions of higher education. Teaching Shakespeare is a major contribution to the knowledge and expertise of all teachers of Shakespeare in schools, colleges and institutions of higher education. It makes explicit the principles of active learning which underpin Cambridge School Shakespeare, and helps teachers to develop their existing good practice. Practical examples are given from the plays most frequently used in schools, but Rex Gibson shows that the principles apply equally to the less frequently studied plays, thereby extending the canon of school Shakespeare.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to cope with 30 15 year olds and a Shakespeare text, 22 Jan 2001
By swelsh28@yahoo.co.uk (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
Imagine - you are a brand new teacher looking out over a sea of expectant faces (none of whom you have ever clapped eyes on before). In one hand a copy of Macbeth - in your other hand a copy of Rex Gibson's 'Making Shakespeare come alive in your classroom'. You feel safe and secure in the knowledge that by the end of the lesson you will have seen your reticent Year 9s flying off tables insulting each other in Elizabethan verse, you will have watched the giggling girls from the back of the room do a fine impression of three board Cockney housewives and you will have had the whole class actively using a language that was alien to them only an hour previously! This book is so full of fantastic ideas (tried and tested in the theatre and on countless school kids up and down the country) that it is invaluable. It makes you wish your English teacher had a copy when you were listening to a tortuous read through of Romeo and Juilet on that long, wet Friday afternoon of your GCSEs (or O Levels for those of you who need to go back that far!) Practical use for teachers to Am Dram darlings to those making their livings treading the board - SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY GOT YOUR COPY?

3.0 out of 5 stars For Dummys Shakespeare background plus some cool ideas, 9 Jun 2005
There is a lot of information on Shakespeare in this book - imagery, language etc. If the title of the book was "An introduction to Shakespeare with some ideas for teaching it" then I would give it 5 stars. One would assume that a book called "Teaching Shakespeare" was written for either drama teachers or English teachers. Then why the need for pages on Shakespeare's imagery? What English or drama teacher wouldn't already know all about that? The author gives us some novel ideas for teaching Shakespeare but not enough to warrant a whole book - he pads it out to book-length by sticking in a load of info that anyone who was even thinking of teaching Shakespeare should already know.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to teaching Shakespeare, 26 Jul 2007
By Tracey Kennedy - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am an experienced English teacher, but this book was an eye-opener. It's full of inspiring suggestions that could be adapted to any of the plays, and what I found especially useful was the simplicity of Gibson's explanations and descriptions - they would be accessible to students of all levels. He suggests ways of bringing Shakespeare to students that I wouldn't have thought of myself. Well worth a read for any English teacher.
