Description
Gifted adolescents in the 21st century have needs that surpass those of previous generations. Learn how to build a Shakespearean repertoire culminating in a festival that celebrates classic themes using new and nontraditional methods. Participants in the activities receive a menu detailing many more options to take home and use immediately to further develop your students’ technology, communication, and critical thinking skills. Festival events include: 60-second Shakespeare videos, a recitation contest, study of abridged and unabridged versions of plays, a Shakespearean Sonnet Slam, Twitterature, Romeo and Juliet text-based adaptations, and more.
