Project Idea: Shakespeare

Shakespeare is one of the great storytellers in the English tradition, and you can find stories in his plays that are perfect for a project in this class.

Research Tip: Wikipedia provides synopses (plot summaries) for each of Shakespeare's plays, so that is always a good place to start; you can find links to all the plays here: Shakespeare's Plays. There are many different electronic editions online, but my favorite is this one: OpenSourceShakespeare.org. There are also some good resources at the Freebookapalooza: Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb, and Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare by Edith Nesbit. Finally, you might also enjoy this fascinating book: Folklore of Shakespeare by T.F. Thiselton Dyer.
