=**Folger Shakespeare Library**= [|Folger Shakespeare Library: "Making a Scene Teacher Blog"]

Folger Education has developed and provided a very valuable resource for educators who teach Shakespeare's works and the structure of his works. This website, made up of blogs created by everyday teachers, provides information regarding Shakespearean dictionaries, technology based activities, ways to involve students in extracurricular clubs regarding Shakespeare, and effective ways to "launch" a Shakespeare unit of study. Not only are the blogs extremely helpful, but there is also a teacher tab which includes lesson plans, pod casts and videos, and play by play resources. The student tab also provides many resources which are "student-friendly," making them easy to understand and navigate. //__ Rating __// Content: 5 Stars Speed: 5 Stars Ease of Read: 5 Stars Navigation: 5 Stars  Timely: 5 Stars
