"Big confession: I took this course for me! I've been wanting to teach my kids about Shakespeare for a long time but I felt completely unequipped to do it until I started Gena's new course: 10 Weeks of Shakespeare ~ Introductory Course for 7th-12th Grades. Although she called it an introductory course I was just blown away by the vast content, awesome videos, and tons of links to get deeper into every module. I always thought a course about Shakespeare could be boring but it is exactly the opposite! This course is very thorough and fascinating. I absolutely recommend it."

"Since, I am teaching a single student, with profound dyslexia, I am reading Star Wars out loud, using different voices for each character. Even my college age son loves listening to it. Don't be afraid to still use the Star Wars book, even without enough students to perform it."
