William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return by Ian Doescher
5.0
It's that time of year. Your students are done. They can smell summer and freedom and if you don't do something fun with them these last four weeks, you'll lose them entirely.
Here it is. Guaranteed to capture even the most reluctant reader. William Shakespeare's Star Wars.
This is the third set of Readers Theater classroom reading pages I'm offering teachers. You need to purchase class copies of the book for students to use as the script and have a version of the movie ready for students to watch (iTunes, DVD, whatever works for you).
Quirk Books offers an Educator's Guide, as well, in which author Ian Doescher explains the many references to different Shakespeare plays, which you may choose to teach - or not.
If you haven't taught this unit with one of Doescher's books before, you may need to introduce imabic pentameter. Use the supporting lesson materials, including the Two-Line Start Cards, from my previous post: Using Star Wars to introduce iambic pentameter.
If, however, your students read Verily and Empire at the end of grading periods 1, 2 or 3, you can launch right into Jedi and use it as a wrap-up of the school year!
What a fun way to start summer vacation!
