2 Name Period About This Literature Guide Secondary Solutions is the endeavor of a high school English teacher who could not seem to find appropriate materials to help her students master the necessary concepts at the secondary level. She grew tired of spending countless hours researching, creating, writing, and revising lesson plans, worksheets, quizzes, tests and extension activities to motivate and inspire her students, and at the same time, address those ominous content standards! Materials that were available were either juvenile in nature, skimpy in content, or were moderately engaging activities that did not come close to meeting the content standards on which her students were being tested. Frustrated and tired of trying to get by with inappropriate, inane lessons, she finally decided that if the right materials were going to be available to her and other teachers, she was going to have to make them herself! Mrs. Bowers set to work to create one of the most comprehensive and innovative Literature Guide sets on the market. Joined by a middle school teacher with 21 years of secondary school experience, Secondary Solutions began, and has matured into a specialized team of intermediate and secondary teachers who have developed for you a set of materials unsurpassed by all others. Before the innovation of Secondary Solutions, materials that could be purchased offered a reproducible student workbook and a separate set of teacher materials at an additional cost. Other units provided the teacher with student materials only, and very often, the content standards were ignored. Secondary Solutions provides all of the necessary materials for complete coverage of the literature units of study, including author biographies, pre-reading activities, numerous and varied vocabulary and comprehension activities, study-guide questions, graphic organizers, literary analysis and critical thinking activities, essay-writing ideas, extension activities, quizzes, unit tests, alternative assessment, online teacher assistance, and much, much more. Each guide is designed to address the unique learning styles and comprehension levels of every student in your classroom. All materials are written and presented at the grade level of the learner, and include extensive coverage of the content standards. As an added bonus, all teacher materials are included! As a busy teacher, you don t have time to waste reinventing the wheel. You want to get down to the business of teaching! With our professionally developed teacherwritten literature guides, Secondary Solutions has provided you with the answer to your time management problems, while saving you hours of tedious and exhausting work. Our guides will allow you to focus on the most important aspects of teaching the personal, one-on-one, hands-on instruction you enjoy most the reason you became a teacher in the first place. Secondary Solutions The First Solution for the Secondary Teacher! 2005 Secondary Solutions Hamlet

3 Name How to Use Our Literature Guides Period Our Literature Guides are based upon the National Council of the Teachers of English and the International Readers Association s national English/Language Arts Curriculum and Content Area Standards. The materials we offer allow you to teach the love and full enjoyment of literature, while still addressing the concepts upon which your students are assessed. These Guides are designed to be used in their sequential entirety, or may be divided into separate parts. Not all activities must be used, but to achieve full comprehension and mastery of the skills involved, it is recommended that you utilize everything each Guide has to offer. Most importantly, you now have a variety of valuable materials to choose from, and you are not forced into extra work! There are several distinct categories within each Literature Guide: Comprehension Check: Exploring Expository Writing Worksheets designed to address the exploration and analysis of functional and/or informational materials Author Biography Biographies of non-fiction characters Relevant news and magazine articles, etc. Comprehension Check Similar to Exploring Expository Writing, but designed for comprehension of narrative text study questions designed to guide students as they read the text Standards Focus Worksheets and activities that directly address the content standards and allow students extensive practice in literary skills and analysis. Standards Focus activities are found with every chapter or section. Some examples: Figurative Language Irony Flashback Assessment Preparation Vocabulary activities which emulate the types of vocabulary/grammar proficiency on which students are tested in state and national assessments. Assessment Preparation activities are found within every chapter or section. Some examples: Context Clues Connotation/Denotation Word Roots Quizzes and Tests Quizzes are included for each chapter or designated section; final tests as well as alternative assessment are available at the end of each Guide. These include: Multiple Choice Matching Short Response Pre-Reading, Post-Reading Activities, Essay/Writing Ideas plus Sample Rubrics Each Guide also has its own unique pre-reading, post reading and essay/writing ideas and alternative assessment activities. Each Guide contains handouts and activities for varied levels of difficulty. We know that not all students are alike nor are all teachers! We hope you can effectively utilize every aspect our Literature Guides have to offer we want to make things easier on you! If you need additional assistance, please us at info@secondarysolutions.com.

4 Name Period Author Biography: William Shakespeare William Shakespeare is widely believed to have been the greatest playwright who ever lived. His plays are continually produced, and students around the world read his works in school. Shakespeare is known for his ability to depict the depth of human character, and his skill in illustrating issues to which, for hundreds of years, people around the world can relate. Shakespeare s father, John Shakespeare, was a wealthy business owner and active citizen of Stratford-upon-Avon in England. He married Shakespeare s mother, Mary Arden, in 1557, and they had William on April 23, During the sixteenth century, waves of the Black Plague ravaged England, and William was lucky to have survived. Joan, William s older sister who was born in 1558, was not so lucky, and died from the plague at a young age. The Shakespeares second child, Margaret, also died just after she turned a year old. William s younger brother, Gilbert, also escaped the deadly grasp of the plague, and had a long and successful career as a tradesman. Finally, John and Mary Shakespeare were again parents, having four more children: Joan (named after their firstborn), Anne (who died at age eight), Richard, and Edmund, who eventually followed in William s footsteps as an actor. Shakespeare began his education at the age of six or seven at the Stratford grammar school, known as the King s New School of Stratford-upon-Avon. His lessons were primarily in Latin, but William also likely learned in English. Shakespeare was taken out of school at about the age of thirteen, due to his father s financial problems at this time. It is believed, however, that William continued his studies on his own, educating himself as much as possible. His life between the age of thirteen when he left school, and several years later, when he emerged as an actor in 1592, is generally unknown. However, it is recorded that at the age of eighteen, in 1582, he married Anne Hathaway, who was eight years older than him and pregnant at the time. Shakespeare s first child, Susanna, was born in Two years later, the twins, Hamnet and Judith were born. However, Hamnet died in 1596 of unknown causes, which is said to have affected William deeply, and his sorrow eventually appeared in his writing. Little is known about Shakespeare s life during the years of 1585 to 1592, before he appeared as an actor in London. It is believed he spent this time perfecting his craft as an actor and playwright. By 1592, Shakespeare was already an established and respected actor in London. Productions of Henry IV and The Comedy of Errors were performed by Pembroke s Men, a popular acting troupe who often performed for Queen Elizabeth. In 1594, Shakespeare joined another acting troupe, Lord Chamberlain s Men, and it was while he was with this group that Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, Richard II, King John, and others. Although Shakespeare was never wealthy, he lived a comfortable life, buying a home in Stratford in He became part-owner of the most popular theater in London, the Globe Theater, in 1599, and the Blackfriars Theater in Shakespeare continued to act until 1613, when he returned to Stratford to retire. Shakespeare is believed to have died on April 23, 1616, exactly 52 years to the day of his birth Secondary Solutions Hamlet
