Artist, Shakespeare & Composer Rotations
Each year your children should study a new rotation of Shakespeare plays, artists and composers together as a family. Below are the Between the Lines recommendations for a 7 year rotation of Shakespeare plays, Picture Study artists and Musical Appreciation composers. However, you can study these in any order you prefer.
We will publish a new set of Picture Study and Musical Appreciation Lesson Plans each year. You can find them all here. For Shakespeare, we highly recommend the Simply Charlotte Mason Shakespeare in Three Steps guides.
