William Shakespeare; learn more about the Bard by checking out Bloom's Literature's Shakespeare Center

Celebrate Shakespeare with Bloom’s Literature

William Shakespeare’s impact on literature is almost impossible to measure. He was responsible for introducing somewhere between 1,500 to 3,000 words to the English language, and people are still making adaptations of his works 400 years after they were written. Yet, while the Bard is a staple in most English literature classrooms, it can be tricky to avoid having some students say, like King Lear, “Never, never, never, never, never!” when one of his works is assigned.  Luckily, students don’t have to tackle Shakespeare alone. Bloom’s Literature, Infobase’s award-winning literature database, features a comprehensive section devoted to his works. Bloom’s Literature’s Shakespeare Center houses in one convenient location a treasure trove of content on all things Shakespeare. Every play is covered in depth, along with the sonnets and longer poems. Students and educators can find critical articles by noted scholars, the full text of all his plays, character studies, overviews and synopses, analysis of key passages, thought-provoking essay topics and discussion questions, images and illustrations, discussions of each play’s difficulties, “How to Write About” articles, full-length video performances, background on Shakespeare, and so much more.  Here are some ideas for how you can use the resources you’ll find in Bloom’s

Students reading books together at the library during School Library Month

10 Ideas to Celebrate School Library Month

School libraries and librarians play a crucial role in the education of children and teens, from instructing how to research, to providing a location for book clubs and makerspaces, to offering access to a wide variety of media resources (not just books!), including materials for both student research and for educators to use in classes and as part of their curricula. It’s no secret that school libraries improve students’ academic performance, and School Library Month is a great time to remind students, parents, and faculty of the myriad wonderful things they can find there. We’ve put together a list of ten things school librarians and media specialists can do this School Library Month to encourage patrons to “check out” the library. Table of Contents “The Masked Reader” Select four or five teachers, librarians, or students to make videos of themselves reading a poem while obscuring their identity in a fun way; they can wear masks or funny costumes, speak in weird voices, use a funny camera filter, or anything else they’d like. (For ideas on poems they can recite, check out Circle Time for Spring [Item #211648].) Upload the videos to Learn360, which features a custom content upload option that
