A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
UNIT PLAN

Grade: 9
Duration: aprox 4 weeks (12 – 75 minute lessons plus final
test)

Global Rationale: Shakespeare is one of the greatest literary genius’ of recent history. His works carry global themes, images, problems, and symbols making it applicable to youth (and adults) today. Through appreciation for a different type of language, I have made this unit student friendly. I have allowed for students to play with the language, the characters even the plot and given them a medium to which they can really engage into the text. I want Shakespeare to appear less and less intimidating to the students by incorporating the overall reasoning that ‘Shakespeare is relevant today’ and by breaking down the text into manageable chunks as well as creating activities that are engaging and fun to aid in the students understanding.
