Excerpt

Introduction 
 Shakespeare wrote many plays in his lifetime; some are now thought to be written in conjunction with others.  “The Tempest” is thought to be the last one he wrote entirely by himself.  It is also one of the only ones that Shakespeare wrote that was wholly original as most of his works were remakes and updates.  “The Tempest” is based on Colonial travel/colonization that was being attempted during this time period.  Just about every character at some point day dreams about what they would do if they were king on the play’s island.

Lesson Plan Format 

 Shakespeare as a man, poet, and writer is significant.  He was highly influenced by what was happening around him in Elizabethan England.  During each session, students will read portions of the play, look at historical context for what was written, delve into the various controversies that surround William Shakespeare and how these relate to his writings and the world today.

Students should have a copy of ‘The Tempest” to read and work with.  If they do not, the following online resources can be used to read the text.  Also, encompassed here are books and online resources the teacher can use in presenting the lessons:
