title: Teaching Shakespeare: A Handbook for Teachers (Cambridge School Shakespeare)
author:  Rex Gibson 
description: Teaching Shakespeare is a major contribution to the knowledge and expertise of all teachers of Shakespeare in schools, colleges and institutions of higher education. It makes explicit the principles of active learning which underpin Cambridge School Shakespeare, and helps teachers to develop their existing good practice. Practical examples are given from the plays most frequently used in schools, but Rex Gibson shows that the principles apply equally to the less frequently studied plays, thereby extending the canon of school Shakespeare.

  young Shakespeare attended the local grammar
  school, where he probably studied literature 
  and Latin. Unlike many other writers of his
  time, he did not receive a formal education at 
  a university.
  In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne
  Hathaway. In a poem expressing her love for
  Shakespeare, Hathaway wrote:
  For queens themselves might envy me,
  Who scarce in palaces can find
  My Willie’s form, with Willie’s mind.
  Hathaway and Shakespeare had three children,
  Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith. Scholars believe
  that Shakespeare might have worked as a school
  teacher during the early years of his marriage.
  In the late 1580s, Shakespeare moved to
  London and quickly became prominent in the
  theater. He joined Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the
  most popular troupe of actors in London. With
  this troupe, he acted in productions throughout
  the 1590
