Educators looking for contemporary approaches to teaching Shakespeare should check out this teacher's guide put together by the folks at EDSITEment. Among its many offerings, this guide provides visitors with links to resources demonstrating ways that Shakespeare's works have inspired or been combined with pop culture, as well as "how performers around the world have infused their respective local histories and cultures into [Shakespeare's] works." In the Teaching Shakespeare portion, readers will find a diverse collection of nine lesson plans for middle and high school students that instructors can adopt in their current form or use as jumping-off points. These lessons include comparisons of revenge ethics from two different historical cultures (using Hamlet and the Japanese Bunraku/Kabuki play Chushingura or the Treasury of the Loyal Retainers), a performance-based activity exploring the language of Othello, and a close reading examining the connections between Shakespeare and STEM subjects. The final section of this guide highlights projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) "that bring Shakespeare to all corners of the United States," as well as links to several approachable articles on Shakespeare from NEH publications.
