Teachers, join us as we dive into all of the digital resources the Folger has to offer you and your students. Learn how to make primary sources and rare materials come alive in your classroom with the Folger Method.
You’ll learn:
- All of the digital resources from the Folger Shakespeare Library at you and your students’ fingertips. You’ll see so many ways of working with the Folger Collection whether you’re in DC or anywhere.
- How to make primary sources and rare materials come alive in your classroom with the Folger Method. You’ll explore the power of Choral Reading, Cutting the Text, and Promptbooking in this session.
- Ways of making connections way beyond Shakespeare from the broader Early Modern Period to contemporary voices through paired texts. You’ll leave with ways of turning Shakespeare into a springboard for new discoveries.
