Welcome to the World of Shakespeare!

A Shakespeare Play Study

A fabulous way to study Shakespeare is to study one play per year. This is best done when coordinated with a live theater showing of a play.

After five weeks of study, the student would attend a live play. Alternatively, the student could watch the play on video if a live showing is unavailable.

This course is designed for a five-week study, but feel free to use the course at your own pace. You may choose to spread it out over a longer or shorter period.

Important Notes...

We realize there is a lot of information provided. Do not let this overwhelm you. Feel free to skip any parts that do not fit your schedule or do not appeal to you.

We have provided you with enough information for several weeks' worth of study. However, this course is designed to be self-led. Please make it work for you -- whether that be over several weeks or several days.

About What Is Included

  • Read, Write, Learn - reading assignments, copywork, literary elements
  • Show What You Know - a wrap-up of all the student has learned for that week
  • Rabbit Trails - In every online book club, we will go on rabbit trails of discovery. We will hop off the traditional roads of literature and meander down paths about history, biographies, poetry, music, and more. We will take deep dives into some of the subjects touched on in the book and broaden our minds with new adventures.
  • Magic Dust - We will also bring literature to life by sprinkling a bit of magic dust along the way. These hands-on projects will take us into the book. We will touch, see, feel, and learn on our new adventures.

About How To Use This Course

This is a self-paced literary study. As the students progress through reading the play, they will progress through the lessons. Activities are included at the end of each reading assignment. At the end of the play, your family can celebrate with a viewing of the play.

About The Credit

This course is the equivalent of five weeks of elementary or middle school literature course study. You can combine this with our other British literature courses for a full year of British literature credit.

About The Certificate

Once the student has completed the course, they will receive a certificate. You may print this out for your records.
