A fun, vibrant and thoroughly tested unit focused upon Shakespeare's comedy 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'! This unit has been created specifically to intigrate KS4 skills into the KS3 curriculum to prepare students for the rigors of the new 100% exam GCSE specification. The unit works brilliantly as an introduction to Shakespeare for Year 7 (as I have used it), or can be used with mid ability Year 8/lower ability Year 9. Rather than focus upon study of the whole play or a specific Act, the unit instead concerns itself with close analysis of Shakespearean language and characters in Act 3 Scene 1. The unit culminates in an end-of-unit reading and writing exam styled upon the 2017 GCSE Specifications for English Language and English Literature.
