We are always happy to speak with teachers about our site. If you would like to set up a Zoom meeting to learn more about how myShakespeare can best help you teach these plays, please contact us at info@myshakespeare.com or sign up for a session via Calendly: https://calendly.com/myshakespeare/15-minute-chat?month=2024-10. We can walk you through our features, answer any questions you may have, and brainstorm activities, assessments, and integrations that make use of our unique features.

Creating a free account will give you access to our account-based features, including interactive reading comprehension and interpretive questions, highlighting and annotating, and to our Notebook, where all your work will be stored. If you do not create an account, you will still be able to read the play, and access all of our multi-media content, including performance videos, interviews with the characters, modern English translations, read-along audio, pop-up notes, and more. While you do not need to register to use the site, we highly recommend creating a free account to ensure the best, most individualized experience. We do not share or sell your personal information.

There are two ways to view your students' work. Teachers can create a classroom, which will be assigned a code that you can distribute to your students. This will populate a classroom roster on your Manage Classroom page, where you can click on individual student Notebooks to view a student's work. Users can also view all of their work in the Notebook feature and export these notes to a printable, shareable PDF, which students can send to their teacher. To do this, make sure you’re signed in, then navigate to your Notebook. Once you’re in the Notebook, you can filter the results by Act, Scene, and other filters. Once you’ve filtered for the desired results, click the Export button and export a PDF to your computer, or save the PDF to your Google Drive. The saved PDF can be submitted as an assignment by sending directly to your teacher or attaching to an assignment on Google Classroom, or other learning management systems.

myShakespeare offers the full and complete text of each play, along with multimedia resources. We can act as your core text for a Shakespeare unit, or a supplement to suit your needs. We also offer curriculum guides for four of our plays, available for free on our For Teachers page (https://myshakespeare.com/teachers), and suggestions for how to use our features in the classroom and at home on our Using myShakespeare page (https://myshakespeare.com/using-myshakespeare). Please contact us at info@myshakespeare.com for more resources, or to set up a Zoom meeting with one of our team members to discuss how to integrate myShakespeare into your curriculum.

In addition to our inter-line gloss (which offers definitions of obscure words just below each line), we also offer a modern Spanish translation of Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar, which is available by clicking the En Español button on any Modern English pop-up note. Modern Spanish translations for the other plays will be available soon.

There is no one definitive edition of Shakespeare’s works. Our Hamlet text takes into account centuries of scholarship, and we’ve based our editorial decisions on scholarly arguments we’ve found compelling. Generally speaking, we have chosen to adhere to the First Folio edition of Hamlet, convinced by the historically informed argument that the Folio edition likely reflects Shakespeare’s intended edits to the text. Thus, our Act 4, Scene 4 of Hamlet is indeed shorter than other common classroom versions of the text and does not feature the rest of 4.4 and Hamlet's final, seventh soliloquy, which only appears in the Second Quarto. We were persuaded by the argument that including the soliloquy makes for a very particular kind of Hamlet — a character who is resolved at this point in the play — and that the omission of this soliloquy in the Folio offers a messier character whose motives and resolution are, at this point, still very much open to interpretation. We have included an Appendix page (https://myshakespeare.com/hamlet/appendix-act-4-scene-4), which is linked to in the first popup note of our main Act 4, Scene 4 page (as well as the Play Menu at the top of each page) that features the full text of the Quarto scene with textual supports.
