ASP SUMMER TEACHER INSTITUTE AT EMERSON COLLEGE:
The Art of Teaching Julius Caesar (and others)
An institute for 7-12 grade teachers of English, Theater and History.
Breathe life into Shakespeare with your students! Whether you teach English, Theater, or History, teaching Shakespeare requires the text to be brought off the page and into the place it lives most urgently, the human body and voice. Learn to approach these play as an actor does through immersive workshops in text, movement, voice, acting, and directing, led by artists and master teachers from the Actors' Shakespeare Project and Emerson College. These workshops will yield a deeper understanding of the plays, a set of tools for working with Shakespeare's language, and a wealth of artistic activities you can use with students in the study of Shakespeare. Each morning, inspired Shakespeare scholars and artists will share their knowledge of the artistic, historical, material, and cultural contexts of Julius Caesar and why this play and this art form are so relevant to our world. The heart of the day will be spent in immersive artistic workshops with ASP and Emerson College faculty. Late afternoons will be spent in facilitated curriculum sessions with curriculum and assessment specialists from Emerson College and Massachusetts schools in which teachers will be encouraged to use the knowledge, resources and skills gained through the institute to create a new Shakespeare curriculum unit (for high schools, plays typically include but are not limited to Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, or A Midsummer Night's Dream). PDPs will be granted by Emerson College.
Institute Faculty to include: Benjamin Evett, Paula Plum, Jennie Israel, Sarah Hickler, David Evett, Lori Shaller, and Bethany Nelson.

Even if you've already met the quota for scholarships, it would be a help just to inform people this is going on. [Those interested can make their own arrangements, which they can't do if they don't know about it.]
