Shakespeare in the Classroom | Sarah Hobbs


Listen Later

Shakespeare invented over 24,000 words- 2000 of which are still used today! His works are not only fun and valuable, but critical to include in your homeschooling journey. Sarah Jane will help you to prioritize and make it one of the best parts of your school week. She hopes to dissolve any hesitation that you might have about Shakespeare, give you reasons why it should be taught, and also give the practical tools for teaching it. Shakespeare nailed human behaviour, and without even trying, you will present direct character analysis of how to be a person of good, godly character, and how not to be!

Sarah Jane Hobbs has lived in Welland, with her wonderful husband William for the last 23 years. They raised five children, homeschooling all the way through, using the Charlotte Mason Method. As a homeschool mom, having disliked Shakespeare in high school, and teacher at their local co-op, she thought maybe she should give it another try. After that first year she never looked back! She has grown from confusion to clarity and helps her students gain enjoyment as they look at Shakespeare from a Christian worldview. She has edited and directed over 10 Shakespeare plays now and it never grows old.
