Shakespeare Uncovered is a series of videos about Shakespeare's life and work. The series, hosted on PBS Learning Media, is organized thematically. Some of the themes are "Shakespeare and History," "The Use of Soliloquy," and "Gender Roles in Shakespeare." Each of the themes is explored in the context of some of Shakespeare's most recognizable works including
Macbeth,
Othello,
Hamlet, and
Romeo & Juliet. Each collection of thematic resources includes short, documentary video clips, reading materials, and discussion questions.
Applications for Education
All of the
lesson plans in Shakespeare Uncovered are intended for use with high school students. Like all PBS Learning Media resources, the Shakespeare Uncovered lesson plans can be shared directly to Google Classroom. The lesson plans include a lot of questions that are intended as discussion questions. So if you plan to post the lesson plans in Google Classroom, I would post them as announcements rather than as assignments.
