Description
Publisher's Description of Tempest for Kids
The Tempest is an exciting tale of jealousy and betrayal, magic and romance, repentance and forgiveness, and has all the elements necessary to ignite a young child's imagination and creative energy. By her use of rhyming couplets, Lois Burdett has once again succeeded in transforming Shakespeare's complex verse into a format readily understood by children.
Children's enthusiasm toward Burdett's adapted Shakespeare is evident in the wonderful drawings and anecdotes created by her Grade 2 and 3 students at Hamlet Elementary School in Stratford, Ontario. Together with the five other books in the successful and beautifully produced Shakespeare Can Be Fun! series, The Tempest will delight teachers, parents and children.
Category Description for Shakespeare For Kids
Truly enjoyable adaptations of classic Shakespeare! Author Lois Burdett has successfully introduced her second grade classes to Shakespeare for over twenty years. These 64-page books contain simplified versions that are written in rhyme. What makes each book so delightful is the contribution of Ms. Burdett's class. Each play contains their ingenuous commentaries and colorful illustrations, which clearly express their thoughts and feelings about the play. These books can be used as a basis for activities such as writing a character diary, holding a debate, or for the really ambitious - performing the entire play! A short list of activity suggestions is located in the back of each book. Some discussion about antiquated language may be required during reading. ~ Anh
