High School Requirements: Shakespeare

Alberta Education requires most high school English students to study one Shakespearean play during their high school English courses.  Typically, students will study the following:

  • Grade 10: Romeo and Juliet
  • Grade 11: Macbeth
  • Grade 12: Hamlet  

Why can't this be a graphic novel?

Explore these graphic novels to find illustrations of every scene in the play paired with helpful line-by-line translations of the original text. 

Note:  Print copies of Shakespeare graphic novels are available in our school library!  Place a hold through our Follett Destiny Library Catalog or by contacting Mrs. L.
