Shakespeare & Ecology in Special Collections

Teaching Resource OVERVIEW

This worksheet guides students in my intro-level Shakespeare class on the day I introduce them to Special Collections. I set up a table for each of the categories listed on the worksheet, then ask the students to pair up and answer as many questions as they can. I share the last 2 pages (included) after class so that students can return and re-examine items of particular interest. My goal is to get students thinking about how books were made—and from what—in Shakespeare’s lifetime.
