I need to learn skills for teaching a course dedicated to Shakespeare!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Stefanelli's classroom raised $215
This project is fully funded
My Project
After 17 years of walking around with a double major in Theater and English, I am finally teaching a course that explores the man who was William Shakespeare!
Shakespeare is all around us!
My goal of the class is to explore students to the Shakespeare they think they know, but do not, as well as open their eyes to the Shakespearean influences all around us: pop culture, books, films, tv, and more!
Please help me purchase some books that I will read over the summer in preparation for this amazing adventure!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
