About This Webinar

Join Dr. Peggy O'Brian, Corinne Viglietta and Maryam Towell, all of Folger Shakespeare Library and Share My Lesson for an approach to teaching literary and informational texts that thousands of educators have called “transformative” and “life-changing.”

Light up your classroom, online and in real life. Learn how to set up a zone of student-centered, language-focused discovery. Let your students amaze you with their ability to make meaning from texts, all on their own. Experience firsthand a subversive, equitable way of getting students inside the language of complex texts. A way that works to engage and excite EVERY learner. A method beloved by teachers and students everywhere.

Work through the same strategically scaffolded sequence of activities that you will do with your students, whether you’re online, in person, or hybrid. Engage with an intentionally created text set including such writers as Amanda Gorman, Yaa Gyasi, Julia Alvarez, Kazim Ali, Malcolm X, William Shakespeare, Jason Reynolds, Mary Shelley, and Suji Kwok Kim. Walk away with techniques you can use tomorrow and every day to help ALL students read with skill and confidence.

Join the Folger community of brilliant, curious, caring, and committed teachers, and gain colleagues, ideas, and resources that will inspire you for the rest of your teaching life. We can’t wait to work with you.

This is an excellent presentation with resources and teaching techniques that will transform Shakespeare in the classroom. Utilizing the techniques to “marry” Shakespeare with other literary pieces will open the doors for conversations, deeper understanding and a new appreciation. You cannot - you will no longer teach Shakespeare the same after just this one hour with The Folger Way! As a past Folger Shakespeare Fellow(1994), I speak from experience that it works.
