Chicago Shakespeare Theater has printable handbooks for many of Shakespeare's plays. "Each of our entirely original teacher handbooks includes active, engaging teaching activities, 400 years of critical thinking, synopses, and much more. Teaching activities-all aligned with the Common Core State Standards-are designed to draw upon some of the same practices and techniques that actors use in the rehearsal process to break open Shakespeare's challenging language."

This 20 minutes, 6 page play is $1 to purchase and get the rights to perform. "How Jackie Changed the World" about Jackie Robinson. Would be great for Martin Luther King Day or black history month. Ages 7-14 with enough parts for 8-13 actors.

Resources for teaching mythology, including Reader's Theater approach and Webquests.
