Soliloquy - What is it?

A complete lesson on what the soliloquy reveals and how writer’s, specifically Shakespeare, use it as a dramatic form.

No other resources are needed - except student’s English books!

This lesson is excellent for Key Stage 3 and 4 students who are studying Shakespeare or drama and there is plenty of opportunity for students to practice their speaking and listening skills as well as their writing skills. This lesson also works well with SEN students because teachers can adapt the lesson towards more towards speaking and listening participation.

This is a standalone lesson but would fit well into any SOW that is focused on Shakespeare. This makes it perfect for NQTs; cover teachers; supply teachers; and of course English and drama teachers!
