Students can acquire a life-long education from reading the works of Shakespeare--the ultimate English author who invented our sense of the human, according to Harold Bloom. As a result, careful, thoughtful, reading and rereading and meditation on these plays can become formative of values in our personal lives.
This book will help teachers of the next generation develop skills of independent, reflective, and critical thinking because authentic learning begins only when teachers challenge students with real questions (problems about meaning) that demand solutions.
