Actively Experiencing Shakespeare: Students "Get on Their Feet" for "Henry IV, Part One."
Meyer, Herbert M.; Thomsen, Lee
English Journal, v88 n5 p58-61 May 1999
Discusses how a literature and multimedia course for 11th and 12th graders used active-learning experiences to engage students with Shakespeare's "Henry IV, Part One." Describes how shouting Hal's soliloquy; constructing a chart of character relations; rewriting a scene in their own words; performing, filming, and critiquing a scene; and writing computer slide-show essays developed thoughtful appreciation and analysis.
