Macbeth for Sophomores
Sophomores are reading Macbeth. Recently, I went into Mrs. Gold's classes and presented Shakespearean resources, including the course we have in Classrooms on Elm Street, our Moodle site. In addition to our books, we include links to online resources. Through the support of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, we have access to the Ebsco Host Literary Reference Center. On the Web, students can listen to the play at The All Ears Theatre and can get a real sense of the play at YouTube by watching Dame Judi Dench's sleepwalking scene or the banquet scene with Ian McKellan. I think YouTube is fast becoming one of my go-to spots. Many primary source materials are available as well as movie and play scenes to give students a muti-sensory introduction to their studies.
