  • The 2010 Teacher Advisor Panel
    The 2010 Teacher Advisor Panel Chris Bustle Brookfield East High School Chris used to dread teaching Shakespeare. Maybe “dread” is too strong, but she defi- nitely fell into the “ambivalent” category every time Hamlet or Macbeth rolled around.

One day it suddenly struck her that most of her students were not going to be English teachers, and perhaps they might enjoy Shakespeare if they could relate as human beings to his plays. Chris gradually came to understand she wasn’t doing her students any favors forcing Shakespeare down their throats, but what could a student love about Shakespeare? She tried to remember those real conversations she sometimes heard in her class when we were not busy analyzing Shakespeare’s language, those days she tossed the lesson aside and let her students take over. The questions those kids asked! Why do people cry at the final scene of King Lear? Why does it seem so hard to feel sorry for Macbeth? Where is Ophelia’s mother? Isn’t Denmark better off with Claudius as king (as opposed to Hamlet, that whiner)? Chris’s students did relate as humans to Shakespeare. She just didn’t often let them. One of her English professors said that he viewed with suspicion any student’s response to literature that began with “I feel.” However, with apologies to Mr.
