Lesson Plan on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

Lesson Plan on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
Drama, Creative Arts, Literature, ELA, Elementary, Middle School, High School, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables

Love in its many forms is the most important theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The romantic encounters and subsequent confusions are the greatest cause of conflict in the play. The play gives us variations on the theme of love – idyllic young love in the case of Hermia and Lysander; passionate and possessive love between Titania and Oberon; love lost and found again as with Helena and Demetrius; love as conquest as in the case of Theseus and Hippolyta. Shakespeare makes a point of infusing A Midsummer Night’s Dream with more than just a two-dimensional notion of romantic love – he shows us the darker side where we see love’s inconstancy, its violence, its possessiveness, and its illusory nature. This lesson plan is designed specifically for Shakespeare's classic comedy. It lasts approximately 90 minutes (depending on the class size) and has activities for all types of learners. The photocopiable student sheet with the activities is included, as well as a separate sheet with the answers.

Lesson Plan on Macbeth

Lesson Plan on Macbeth
Drama, Creative Arts, Literature, ELA, Reading, Middle School, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools

The tragedy of political aspirations A courageous Scottish general called Macbeth is given a prediction by three witches that he will someday be King of Scotland. Driven by ambition and urged into action by his wife, Macbeth kills King Duncan and quickly transforms into a tyrannical leader. Core themes in Shakespeare's Macbeth encompass: the conflict of good and evil, the perils of ambition, the impact of supernatural elements, the disparity between appearance and truth, as well as loyalty and remorse. A prominent theme in Macbeth is ambition, evident in both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. They are lured by the notion that Macbeth will ascend to the throne – Macbeth is uncertain about his choices, but his wife is relentless in pursuing her desires – she considers her husband a coward and seems willing to go to any lengths. Ambition drives one to wickedness - it empowers Macbeth, increasing his resolve, yet ultimately leads to his wife's madness. Ambition ultimately destroys Macbeth as well, as he turns into a tyrant and consequently alienates his friends. This lesson plan, which lasts nearly 6 hours (depending on your class size, of course), provides a comprehensive analysis of William Shakespeare's renowned play. It comprises spoken and written tasks, arranged into four worksheets. The responses are also incorporated.

Edgar A. Poe & Stephen King:  Gothic vs. Modern Horror Reading Passage

Edgar A. Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs. Modern Horror Reading Passage
ELA, Literature, Reading, Writing, Research, Resources for Teachers, High School, Homeschool Resources, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Quizzes and Tests, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts

As a homeschool mom navigating the world of high school literature with my ninth-grade daughter, I understand the challenge of finding resources that truly engage teens while building critical thinking skills. This Edgar Allan Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs Modern Horror Reading Passage, Q & A, and 5 Note-Taking Sheets is a comprehensive teaching resource transforms the study of horror literature into an exciting exploration of how two master storytellers — Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King — have shaped our understanding of fear across different eras. When my daughter first read The Tell-Tale Heart , she was captivated by Poe's psychological intensity, but it was not until we compared it to Stephen King's modern approach that she truly grasped how literature evolves while maintaining timeless themes. This Edgar Allan Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs Modern Horror Reading Passage, Q & A, and 5 Note-Taking Sheets resource bridges that gap, helping students/homeschoolers understand not just what these authors wrote, but why their techniques remain so powerfully effective today. The beauty of this comparison lies in how it makes classic Gothic literature accessible through the lens of contemporary horror that students/homeschoolers already recognize and appreciate. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: Comprehensive 4-page reading passage comparing Gothic and modern horror techniques 20 thought-provoking critical analysis passage questions A detailed answer key with guided answers for easy grading 5 note-taking sheets designed for different learning styles and approaches TOPICS COVERED: Psychological horror techniques and unreliable narrators in both Gothic and modern contexts Environmental symbolism and how physical settings reflect character psychology Evolution of horror themes from 19th-century Gothic to contemporary suburban fears Comparative analysis of how isolation, obsession, and evil function across different literary periods What I love most about this Edgar Allan Poe & Stephen King: Gothic vs Modern Horror Reading Passage, Q & A, and 5 Note-Taking Sheets is how it sets up our high schoolers/homeschoolers for the kind of thinking they will need in college — without making them feel overwhelmed right now. I have watched my daughter grow from someone who used to skim through reading assignments to a homeschooler who actually gets excited about discussing why certain scenes give her chills. The analytical skills she has developed through comparing these two masters of horror have carried over into every other subject we tackle. When she encounters complex texts in college, she will not be starting from scratch — she will already know how to dig deeper, ask the right questions, and make connections between different time periods and writing styles. That is the real gift we can give our kids: not just knowledge, but the confidence to think critically about whatever they encounter next. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom
