Author Description

Fourteen lessons have students define literary terms; analyze characterization, plot, setting, and subplot structure; examine puns, paradoxes, conceits, and myths; recognize dramatic conventions and devices; use personal experiences as reference points; and capture the timelessness of Shakespeare's themes. A prereading lesson gives students an opportunity to contribute prior knowledge of Shakespearean drama, to predict and conjecture on questions posed, and to research topics relevant to the study of Twelfth Night. Grades 9-12. (CFL202)
