Book Reviews of Irresistible Shakespeare (Grades 5 and Up)

Book Review: Wow, 8th graders engaged!
Summary: 5 Stars

The lessons in here have my 8th graders engaged! After each lesson, I am literally hearing kids say, "I get it!" The excerpts that Miller has included are of higher interest to a younger crowd--the opening and Bosworth speeches of Richard III, the St. Crispian's Day speech from Henry V, a little R&J, Shrew, and a long excerpt from Midsummer's. I have supplemented Miller's lessons on meter and poetry w/ sonnets 12, 18 & 91, and found the kids are actually understanding iambic pentameter and rhyme scheme. The only other thing I've thrown in are some Shakespearean insults to make class interesting. This book is an invaluable addition to my teacher's arsenal.
