At my high school we had a teacher who had an advanced degree in Shakespeare studies, and she would teach a different play every quarter. They were great classes, but a single quarter was plenty of time for a very comprehensive look at each play. I can’t imagine stretching it out over an entire year and have it be anything but absolutely tedious.
Theatre should be seen instead of (or at least as well as) read IMO. I bet if you’d been taken to see a decent production first you’d have got a lot more out of reading it later.
We read Macbeth in high school, but they dragged it out over a whole year. It was so painful!

Yeah absolutely.

That sucks. Macbeth rules so hard. We did it over a couple weeks in school and it was awesome.
