In this webinar I will go through ten things I have learned about teaching Shakespeare over the last ten years. I do not consider myself an expert in teaching Shakespeare by any stretch of the imagination. These were all lightbulb moments for me as I shakily navigated trying to teach Shakespeare. Teachers may benefit from learning from my mistakes in the following areas and listening to how I structure teaching them now:

• Elizabethan theatre
• Line breaks and punctuation
• Grammar- Pronouns
• Grammar- contractions
• Grammar- inversions
• Grammar- Old verbs
• Retired words
• Shakespeare, the word inventor
• What is Iambic pentameter?
• Prose, Rhymed Verse, Blank Verse
