There are a lot of places where we can find resources when we’ve been assigned a new unit to teach. Google. TpT. YouTube. We can go to those search engines and find truly rockstar resources and get great ideas.

But here’s the problem: you still have to put together a brand new unit that you’re not prepared to teach.

A single YouTube video on Brutus' orchard speech and a handful of free worksheet downloads can only get you so far before you find yourself back at square one thinking, but what is this Shakespeare unit going to look like?

Because you’re a great teacher, you know that in order for a unit to be effective, it needs to be cohesive. So finding bits and pieces all over the internet might get you started, but you still need to know the goals of the unit, the heart of the struggles and experiences of the characters, and the core skills that need to be taught and assessed.

That’s where Happy Hour comes in.
