Summary:
This is a narrative retelling of Shakespeare's play. Many of the famous lines are embedded in the narrative.
Teaching Ideas:
Good way to introduce the play. Teachers might want to supplement with portions of the actual play. Groups of students could compare original language and Coville's retelling. Teachers might want to help students see how zany Shakespeare's plots can be and perhaps compare the action to soap operas or TV shows.
