Massive storms, shipwrecks, survivors stranded on an island ruled by an aging magician, and strange creatures—Shakespeare's The Tempest appeals to today's middle schoolers. For this unit, seventh graders read selections from an adapted version of the play, act out several scenes, and craft and publish their version of a dramatic scene. The 146-page guide includes a unit introduction, a pacing guide, 10 scripted lessons, links to additional teacher resources, and mid-unit and final assessments. The tightly constructed unit does not give much time for dalliance.
