Grade: Fourth

Duration: 36 weeks

Fourth grade continues the introduction to the immortal bard using child-friendly retellings of eight of Shakespeare's works including 'Romeo and Juliet,' 'Othello,' 'Macbeth,' and 'King Lear.' Children create character maps, set the scene, construct simple costumes, order major plot events, and recite lines. This course also incorporates Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer's Night Dream' in its original form, accompanied by an audio recording and a line-by-line translation. This course provides lesson guides with synopses, vocabulary, concepts, review questions, and/or enrichment activities for all lessons.
