As You Like It

Product Description

William Shakespeare wrote As You Like It in 1599 or 1600. The complicated backdrop of life in England in the 1590s amidst decades of political and religious upheaval informs much of the play. As such, this pits the corrupt Duke Frederick’s court against the world of merry exile of those in the forest. We are forced to consider if freedom of conscience in exile is preferable to the perilous misery of an exiled conscience.

Check out the As You Like It Set from Memoria Press. This set features the famous text from Shakespeare, the Student Guide, and the Teacher Guide. The Student Guide consists of lessons for the five acts and the epilogue of As You Like It. Each of these lessons contains vocabulary work, journal prompts, quotes, and comprehension questions. The Student Guide also includes an introduction to Shakespeare, an introduction to the text, a character log, and review questions. The Teacher Guide has the answers.

Our study guides train students to become active readers by focusing on vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Students think about what they have read and learn to identify the important content of each story. These study guides also teach the advanced skill of composing answers that are both clear and concise, a difficult skill at any age. Writing is thinking, and good questioning stimulates the child to think and write.
