William Shakespeare's "The Seven Ages of Man"

Teaching Level: 
High School

This is the powerpoint I used in discussing "The Seven Ages of Man". I started the lesson by presenting a theater or a stage with the first two lines of the poem. "All the world's a stage. And all men and women merely players. I asked select students if they agree or not. The lesson was after the class watched a stage play, so I asked them what are their opinions of a play.

"See...and Believe" : An Illumination of The History of Love.

We illuminated an excerpt for the History of Love. We explored the relationship between Leo and the younger Alma at the end of his life. In our text Leo exploring what is real and what he is imagining. He is coming to term with the fact that most of the things he he sees are imaginary. Our text all discusses how Alma adores Leo and for her he would do anything.

As You Like It: Some Activities for the Seven Ages of Man Speech and Beyond

Teaching Level: 
High School

from the Folger's 7 stages of man stained glass windowThe first "handout" that you will find here is actually a set of tickets.  You can give these tickets to students as they walk in the door - each of them has a different "age" from the Seven Ages of Man speech.  They also have a letter (in this case "A", but you should also use Word and make a "B" & "C" set of tickets as well).  The next handout is actually a cartoon from The New Yorker and is a humorous and modern take on the Seven Ages of Man.  You can use this to have students brainstorm (in their A,B,C groups) on their own modern versions of the 7 Ages.
