Secondary school English teacher since 1996. Was Director of Faculty for ten years but relinquished that responsibility in September 2015. Enjoy producing teaching resources - save it / use it / tweak it / bin it, as you see fit!
A collection of starter activities based on events and characters in the play, ranging from simple to very challenging so they are suitable for pupils of different abilities. Complete with solutions for busy teachers! Ideal for use at Key stage 3.
The activities are fabulous and complement the student workbook perfectly. One thing is baffling me though-how are students supposed to work out which letters go with which numbers on the second activity?

We focused first on the three letter words, both beginning with T and containing the same 2nd and 3rd letters - commonly used - they realise it is 'THE' so can add those letters also.<br />
<br />
Then I gave them the number corresponding to the letter M and some smart kids quickly deduced 'victim' as the final word and this helped them to determine 'criminal' in turn. The 'R' and 'L', coupled with the 'V' help them to decode 'relative'.<br />
<br />
Hope that helps.
