I think that next semester when my students are choosing what we'll read as far as Drama is concerned, I'm going to take A Midsummer Night's Dream OFF the list of possibilities. It's a great play and definitely fun and interesting to read, but I've had to "read" it almost every semester now for several semesters and I'm getting tired of it.
Don't get me wrong and think that I don't like A Midsummer Night's Dream; I do like it. It's just that when something is done in excess, it just gets old after a while. And there are a lot of other really great, just as good plays available for us to read. I realize that most of the time, my students choose this particular play because it is one of the shorter plays available to read. I understand that. But there are other relatively short plays available to read, too.
I'm just A Midsummer Night's Dream-ed out.....I don't even have the energy to try to stretch out our discussion of the play for a whole class....that speaks volumes, especially when I'm typically rushing to get everything in during our one class hour!!!!
