It means freeing teachers from the notion that teaching Shakespeare means teaching everything, or teaching \"Western Civilisation\" and universal themes. Instead, this invigorating new book equips teachers to enable student-centred discovery of these complex texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause Shakespeare's plays are excellent vehicles for many topics -history, socio-cultural norms and mores, vocabulary, rhetoric, literary tropes and terminology, performance history, performance strategies - it is tempting to teach his plays as though they are good for teaching everything. This lens-free approach, however, often centres the classroom on the teacher as the expert and renders Shakespeare's plays as fixed, determined, and dead. \u003ci\u003eTeaching Shakespeare with Purpose\u003c\/i\u003e shows teachers how to approach Shakespeare's works as vehicles for collaborative exploration, to develop intentional frames for discovery, and to release the texts from over-determined interpretations. In other words, this book presents how to teach Shakespeare's plays as living, breathing, and evolving texts.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAyanna Thompson \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of English, George Washington University, USA \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaura Turchi \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor of Education, University of Houston, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.2 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53343238357299,"sku":"9781472599612","price":75.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/LzYcotfN2k9781472599612.webp?v=1778706433","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/teaching-shakespeare-with-purpose-a-student-centred-approach-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
