A Midsummer Night's Dream Unit of Work

A large (136 pages of WORD documents and 11 detailed ppts), fully editable, no prep required complete unit of work which really brings A Midsummer Night’s Dream to life. This unit of work makes the play relevant to student’s lives and the world in which they live, asking them to experience the play as a piece of theatre as well as a literary text. Quizzes, tests, essay questions, worksheets, debate cards, character analysis, group projects, creative activities, contextual information and more. All activities are graduated to fit the learning stages of Blooms Taxonomy moving from recall and understanding through to analysis, evaluation and creation with collaborative projects. Primarily designed for A Level courses or GCSEs, most activities can be easily used with younger age groups at Key Stage 3 (11 to 14 years old). I have placed particular focus on contextual appreciation, textual knowledge, critical thinking, and skills in building and supporting an argument through debate, essay and letter writing tasks. Creative tasks include Director’s Log and Deck of Cards projects. The essay questions in particular are intended to stretch and challenge students’ ability and achievement. The resource includes:
Context, Genre Conventions and Narrative (12 pages)
Close Reading and Textual Knowledge (57 pages and 9 ppt presentations)
Debate and Discussion Tasks (18 pages)
Formal Letters (13 pages and 2 Marking Rubrics)
Essays (17 essay questions, 25 pages and 2 Marking Rubrics)
Collaborative Projects (21 pages and 2 ppts of 35 slides)
