Ideas for Pedagogical Project

• Shakespeare timeline that other things hook into. Companies, tours, and venues. Taking what the Queen's men do and how it overlaps S's life.
• Critique of brainstorming
• Lesson plan - start with text, student imagines how will be staged, they watch performance and then see how what was done or not.
• Pedagogical section for teachers on how to use this.
• Use interviews to produce clusters around topics like gender (clips of boys playing girls with interviews). This could focus on experience of modern actors trying to recreate.
• Genre.
• Playtext with highlighted sections and links to materials. Karioke version with bouncing ball.
• We start with questions and then lead them to pages with links to resources needed. - Shorts that provoke ideas.
• Glossary of terms
• Links to other stuff - early modern accounts
• Getting ss to see space and action - ss think of plays as novels. Staging as opposed to film.
  • This is how you get onto the stage and off. This is how they played a villain. - We need multiple versions of things to show difference. This can give us leverage on how else it could be done.
• Flash toy for blocking.
• What were the Queen's men known for - continuity of characters from one to another...
• Issue of how facilitation of acting worked
• Question of relationship between these plays and Shakespeare's plays - we could give a list of things that could be used to show how S changed stuff.
• Juxataposition web pages.
• Side by side chart of differences
• Economics of the company - effects of economics on how to do it. Could
• Difference between recreating as we did and what it was like in those days
• Karioke - remove audio to role and let ss try it. One can turn on and off different people.
• Wiki for teachers.
