This past semester, I took the opportunity to read the Much Ado About Nothing chapter of this book while I was teaching a small group of students to perform scenes from the play for my homeschool co-op. I have never enjoyed a lesson on a play so much. The author brings out themes and explains characters in a clear, easy-to-read manner.

The book's section on Much Ado About Nothing is broken into four lessons that each end with Review Questions and Thought Questions. Suggested paper topics are also included at the end of the section.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is reading Shakespeare with their teen--or on their own.
