This engaging and informative lesson enables students to develop a detailed understanding of the dramatic devices used by Shakespeare throughout The Tempest. In particular, students define a wide range of dramatic devices, before identifying and analysing their use in Act 3 Scene 3 of The Tempest.
The lesson follows a step-by-step learning journey, in which students learn through:
Defining each of the main dramatic devices;
Reading and comprehending Act 3 Scene 3 of the play, identifying and analysing the dramatic devices;
Applying this understanding to a range of ‘Bloom’s Taxonomy’ related learning activities;
Creating their own play-script scene, using the range of dramatic devices appropriately and effectively;
Self-assessing their learning throughout the lesson;
Included is:
Whole lesson PowerPoint - colourful and comprehensive;
Dramatic Devices Cards;
Act 3 Scene 3 Extract (freely available online);
Dramatic Devices Bloom’s Taxonomy Activities Worksheet;
Comprehensive lesson plan.
