A resource modelling how to construct a sophisticated analysis response to Egeus’ speech in Act 1 Scene 1 of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Literature essay question: How does Shakespeare present Egeus in Act 1 Scene 1?’
The lesson builds on the previous lesson where students have annotated the speech and planned a response to the question. It does rely on students having already written their essay plan / having access to a plan (but this doesn’t need to have followed my lesson on doing so).
Activities:
Starter: a link to a dual-coded quiz to reinforce knowledge of Shakespearean terminology.
Task 1: Read a model paragraph and discuss guiding questions to consider how to construct a sophisticated analysis paragraph.
Task 2: Use the model and the previous task’s discussion to write an analysis paragraph with peer support.
Task 3: Students write an analysis paragraph independently.
Plenary: Reflection activity
Teacher instructions and suggestions are included in the notes section to clarify anything that may be unclear.
