How Novelty May Move: New Approaches to Exploring Shakespeare in the Classroom

Supported by its new Discovery Zone library of 50+ free activities and resources for exploring Shakespeare, Bard Education has plenty of novel ideas to share. Join Mary Hartman, Director of Education at Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival as she shares strategies for student-centred, inquiry-based exploration of Shakespeare, customizable for grades 4-12. In addition to sharing the underlying pedagogy and several highlight activities from the Discovery Zone collection, this session will include foundational activities that empower all students to discover how the language resonates for them and how they can use Shakespeare’s words to express who they are. This session will invite active participation in a warm, friendly context.
