Web gateway to all things Shakespeare

Published: 9 April 1999 y., Friday
The Web is the best medium in which to place his work because the Web is everywhere. And the Web gives students and teachers resources they have never had before (http://www.bell.k12.ca.us/BellHS/Departments/English/Shakespeare.Corner).The site offers resources for students and teachers. The Romeo and Juliet unit makes clever use of photos and film segments from a 1988 student production of the play. Students of the play may view film clips while reading commentaries for key scenes. Maintained by Terry A. Gray at Palomar Community College in San Marcos, Calif., Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet at http://daphne.palomar.edu/ Shakespeare/ functions as a marvelous Web gateway to all things Shakespeare - his life and times, criticism, Elizabethan theater, performance, sources, lesson plans, and the authorship debate. Gray_s original materials include a timeline, a biography quiz and a genealogy. He also includes the full text of Charles and Mary Lamb_s 1806 Tales From Shakespeare, prose versions of 20 Shakespeare plays for young readers. Gray_s site attempts "to be a complete annotated guide to the scholarly Shakespeare resources available on Internet" and "to present new Shakespeare material unavailable elsewhere on the Internet." Surfing with the Bard: Shakespeare 101, Your Shakespeare Classroom on the Internet at http://www.ulen.com/shakespeare/ students/guide/ is an essential Web stop for any teacher or student of the Bard. A. Ulen, an English and drama teacher, has created beautiful, content-rich Bard Zones for students and teachers. Forty creative lesson plans encourage the teaching of Shakespeare through performance. In the student Bard Zone, she discusses how to read and view the plays, unusual word arrangements, unusual words, and maintaining reading logs. She has also created a Shakespeare glossary. Ulen_s Fun Zone includes paper dolls and logos. D. Walker has compiled an annotated list of Web sites, created for teachers of Shakespeare at http://7-12educators.miningco.com/msub109drama.htm There is a lot out there, but Walker tried not to overwhelm. The ninth-grade teacher can go right to the best five or six Romeo and Juliet resources; the 10th-grade teacher can go right to Caesar.
