Shakespeare Home Learning/Homework Menu KS3 Lower

This home learning menu was created to run alongside the teaching of Romeo and Juliet at year 8 so has tasks suitable for lower KS3. It was created in an 'Elizabethan Diner' format and designed to make home learning more fun and engaging (!). It does not specify characters/scenes in the tasks so that it can be used with any of Shakespeare's plays. These activities are designed to provide support for a number of different areas (knowledge of context, writing creatively, analysis etc.) as well as to stretch the most able, and cover a variety of mediums (writing, posters, set design etc.). They can either be set at the start of a half-term or on a week-by-week basis. They have been highlighted as an outstanding method of setting home learning in observations and commented on as a purposeful use of time by parents.
