INTRODUCTION

Jump Start

Engage students in a discussion of famous

quotes from Shakespeare that they might

know from previous classes, popular media,

or general knowledge. Ask them how some

of these quotes apply to the present or

contemporary time. Is there a reason why these

quotes are still in use even though they were

written over hundreds of years ago?

Facing the Future, Confronting

the Past: Shakespeare

Extended Study

Ask students what the phrase facing the future,

confronting the past suggests to them. Point out

that as they work through this unit, they will read

many examples about how our past experiences

have an effect on our future actions.

Video

Project the introduction video in class and

ask students to open the video in their digital

textbooks.

Discuss It If you want to make this a digital

activity, go online and navigate to the Discussion

Board. Alternatively, students can share their

responses in a class discussion.

Block Scheduling

Each day in this pacing calendar represents

a 40–50 minute class period. Teachers using

block scheduling may combine days to reflect

their class schedule. In addition, teachers may

revise pacing to differentiate and support core

instruction by integrating components and

resources as students require.
