A Midsummer Night's Dream

A collection of resources intended to support the teaching of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream at GCSE. The resources are targeted at the IGCSE Literature course but would be appropriate for any teaching of A Midsummer Night's Dream from KS3 to KS5 as they focus on key knowledge and skills for analysis writing and for understanding the play deeply. I have included some IGCSE-style assessments which include both whole-text and passage-based questions. These are specific to the Cambridge IGCSE course but should be adaptable to other examination systems. I have also included some additional resources on Elizabethan / classical context which follow the format of the Cambridge IGCSE First Language Course. While these are examination specific, the texts themselves are provided as a word document so teachers could either use the examination questions as a reading comprehension exercise or provide the texts without the questions to support students' understanding of context. All PPT lessons come with instructions written in the 'notes' section to support delivery of the lesson. There are also some suggestions for delivering the classes online for online learning.
