Midsummer Venues


Teaching Global Shakespeares -- SAMLA 2013 Special Session
But is this only for College Educators and not high school educators?

CFP: [Theatre] Renderings: Shakespeare across Continents

This would be okay because I will include performance in the plans, although their focus might be on cross-continental study of Shakespeare. I don’t care, though, my paper applies to all teachers of high school Shakespeare classes!

[Reminder] Teaching Medieval and Renaissance Literature

I could publish here because I am advocating teaching MND and that is a less-taught high school text. (The advertisement calls for “short essays that encourage faculty to try overlooked, non-traditional texts inside the classroom and book reviews.” Is our paper considered a “short essay” ?

I found an article on the website for this journal about teaching King Lear. It recognizes that King Lear maybe isn’t a non-traditional text but the way the author plans to teach it is non-traditional. Sounds like my approach! Again, this article is about teaching at a college level. Do you think they would accept an essay about teaching high school?

art is everything & everything is art
Blog posts from high school teachers and high school teachers about Shakespeare. This would be a cool place to post because maybe I could get feedback from high school students on my ideas!

Conclusion: I'm thinking the Mom Musings and the 
Teaching Medieval and Renaissance Literature. Do you agree?

  1. Stage Mom Musings sounds awesome. I especially like their little slogan: "art is everything and everything is art." Publishing there would make you instantly awesome to the entire planet, I'm pretty sure.

  2. Even if our paper isn't considered a short essay by Teaching Medieval and Renaissance Literature, you can adapt it to be that way. Keep it more on the side of eight pages, and try to see if you can get a five-page paper out of it as an alternative. That sounds like the perfect venue for you!
