Authors Sought for Advanced Placement Shakespeare Guides
At Prufrock Press, we are interested in developing an innovative line of teaching resources for Advanced Placement teachers using Shakespeare in their classrooms.
Specifically, we are seeking teacher-authors who could write exciting, innovative guides to teaching the following plays:
- Macbeth
- Romeo and Juliet
- Hamlet
- A Midsummer Night's Dream
These guides would include debates, role-play activities, engaging discussions, critical and creative writing activities, and creative projects within the context of a rigorous academic study of Shakespearian works. Authors must be able to offer teachers practical, field-tested ways to make the study of Shakespeare meaningful, creative, and substantive. Additionally, each guide would be aligned with Advanced Placement guidelines and standards.
We are seeking teacher-authors who could work collaboratively with us to develop one or more of these guides over the next 6–12 months.
If you or a teacher you know has a special talent for effectively teaching Shakespeare to teenagers, we would love to hear from you. Please send your
name, current position, and summer mailing and e-mail address to
ap_shakespeare@prufrock.com. Doing so will ensure you receive an information packet in approximately 4 weeks.
Please respond before May 25, 2007 if you would like to receive an author information packet for the four AP Shakespeare projects listed above.
