Shakespeare Week: great set of Shakespeare quotation display cards/teaching resources

Shakespeare Week is on the way! This pack contains a great set of A4 display pages. Each has a different quotation to make your students think. Under each quotation, which should be big enough for classroom displays, I’ve put a concise summary of what the quotation is about, who said it, and the scene reference. Teaching: you could quickly insert the ‘animation’ function into my PowerPoint to turn this int a great classroom quiz, as the coloured explanatory text is essentially the ‘answer’ -so you get a display and a quiz in on e! The quotations cover the Histories, Tragedies, Comedies and Late Plays. I have chosen more for ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to help our GCSE students! Teaching: you could quickly insert the ‘animation’ function into my PowerPoint to turn this int a great classroom quiz. Happy Shakespeare Week, gentles all. Please browse my shop (search under ‘Shakespeare’) for other resources, including a Shakespearean insults tournament lesson and lots of revision packs.

1) A great slideshow lesson with lots of images and colour which focuses on the essay: 'With close reference to his use of language, explain how Richard manipulates and controls his victims.' 2) This file is an ideal way to encourage younger year 8 or 9 students to write paragraphed analysis on a Shakespearean villain. 3) The group tasks encourage students to discuss the language, and there are slides which model suitable language analysis techniques for students to use on their own examples. 4) You can return to the in-depth quotation analysis slides and technical terminology definitions when teaching Macbeth at GCSE; similar skills and techniques appear!
