Othello - Act 1, scene 1 and 2 Podcast

Othello - Act 1, scene 1 and 2 Podcast

(0)
This resource is a podcast on Othello (page and line numbers correspond to the Oxford School Shakespeare Version) that analyses the language in detail. It can be used by teachers to develop their own annotations and understanding of the text - you won’t necessarily agree with all interpretations or observations - or set as homeworks for the pupils in order for them to annotate their own texts / write detailed notes. Some of the scenes selected in this series of podcasts are most suitable for homeworks as that leaves extended lesson time to focus on the ‘most important’ examples / quotations / scenes in the play.

Purple Hibiscus - Pupil Workbook

(0)
This ‘Purple Hibiscus’, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adihie, workbook is designed to be printed as a booklet / wire-bound handout to help students to organise their notes on the text and teachers with their planning. It is designed to help lesson planning - as it included starter activities for discussion or mind-mapping for each chapter as well - though its main focus is to help students to extract some of the most important quotations from the text (whilst also helping them to practise important passage-based skills along the way).
