This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching high school freshmen about William Shakespeare and his sonnets over the course of a week. The class consists of 20 students, some with ADHD. Each day focuses on a different activity like watching videos, completing web quests, listening to podcasts, and using virtual reality to explore the Globe Theatre. Students work individually and in groups to analyze sonnets and Shakespeare's life. They present their findings using various technologies and submit their final project through a QR code.
