Hamlet and Way Beyond with the Folger Method

We’ll explore: 

• The Context of Shakespeare’s World through treasures from the Folger Collection
• How to explore textual variants with your students by looking at three different versions of Hamlet’s soliloquy from 3.1
• Challenging William Shakespeare by putting him into conversation with other great authors like Frederick Douglass and Zora Neale Hurston. 

This session will be led by Ashley Bessicks, a Literacy Coach for Baltimore City Schools in Baltimore, Maryland and Stefanie Jochman, an English teacher at Flint Hill School in Oakton, Virginia.

Afterwards, a Zoom recording of the session and any related resources will be available exclusively for Folger Teacher Members.
