| Fabulous!This is a great book, I love Shakespeare so much! I wish I could interview him and speak with him for he could give me some ideas! That would be a dream!
If you love the awesome Mr.Shay, then you really need to get this!
Good learning toolMy 14-year old is studying Shakespeare in his English class and his teacher recommended this book. My son enjoys it because each page has both the original Shakesperean text and the modern-day English. He has related to me some interesting parallels between the two.
Perfect for studentsAs a high school teacher of many years, I absolutely love using the Shakespeare Made Easy version of "Romeo and Juliet" to enhance the young reader's experience of this play. With the more modern side-by-side translation, readers can independently enjoy the poetry of Shakespeare without the frustration of decoding every word or phrase. It is perfect for classroom use and even better for those who want to re-read Shakespeare as adults! This Barron's version keeps true to the orignial text and is unlike others which give quick summaries at the beginning of each scene or Act. Shakespeare Made Easy translates, modernizes or interprets every line without losing the original meaning. This version certainly makes teaching the classics a whole lot easier!
Helper for UnderstandingI bought this book for my high school Shakespeare class and found it to be the most helpful thing. With this book, you get a feel for what Shakespeare was saying in a language that you can understand. With my other Shakespeare books, I had to wait for my teacher to explain to us just what had happened in the lines we had just read. When I used this book, I understood the material before it was explained to me. I recommend this to anyone taking an Intro to Shakespeare class.
kids romeo and julietThese book is great. It came in very handy for my daughter while they were reading this in school
Product DescriptionHere are the books that help teach Shakespeare plays without the teacher constantly needing to explain and define Elizabethan terms, slang, and other ways of expression that are different from our own. Each play is presented with Shakespeare's original lines on each left-hand page, and a modern, easy-to-understand "translation" on the facing right-hand page. All dramas are complete, with every original Shakespearian line, and a full-length modern rendition of the text. These invaluable teaching-study guides also include: 1. Helpful background information that puts each play in its historical perspective. 2. Discussion questions that teachers can use to spark student class participation, and which students can use as springboards for their own themes and term papers. 3. Fact quizzes, sample examinations, and other features that improve student comprehension of what each play is about.
