Abstract
As a classic playwright and poet, William Shakespeare has been and will continue to be a large part of a student's education. In an effort to discover, learn of, and analyze different methods of the pedagogy of Shakespeare in secondary education classrooms, I undertook a research- and interview-based project in order to expose myself to the different approaches utilized. Consisting of methodologies, the analysis of methods, and examples of various teaching techniques, this paper allows the comparison and analysis of how Shakespeare is taught. As an English major with an interest in history, I am combining my fascinations in order to critically analyze and learn about methodology in the field of education. Shakespeare is taught in middle schools and high schools, and as a future secondary education teacher, this project has broadened my horizons as well as give me practice in the field of educational research.
