Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' (KS3 More Able)

This scheme of (up to) eleven lessons is designed to engage KS3 students in studying ‘The Tempest’ with particular attention payed to language and context. The design is simple, clean and guides the class through the play, Act by Act. One of the key aims is to enable KS3 students to feel confident in understanding, using and interpreting Shakespearean language, as well as reflecting on how the play is affected by its contexts. I used the performance at The Globe to supplement reading the text in class, easily found with a quick Youtube search.

There is a creative writing assessment bolted on to the end of the scheme.
