This is a unit of work for HAMLET that I'm currently running with my year 8 classes, both top sets and bottom sets. If you know the play really well, the pupils will enjoy the play very much.
You have 131 slides with 12 lessons on a big Power point presentation, together with a 6 weeks homework booklet and the SOW. Plenty of tasks in each lesson. Videos are embedded and you only need to click on some words in the slides. Video versions used are Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet & RSC version with David Tennant, which are widely available for free on YouTube.
The power point slides have some useful tasks but it only goes up to the 'to be or not to be' soliloquy; I was expecting reference to the entire play, so I was disappointed. Also not all video links are still available on YouTube.
Overall, it is useful, just not as comprehensive as I was hoping for, but thanks for sharing.

Dear Emmalou58, I'm really sorry that you were disappointed in not finding a scheme of work for the entire play. However, at KS3, in the time of 5-6 weeks of a half term there isn't much time for pupils to be able to go through the deep analysis of the entire play and I wanted to only give them a taste, as this is play they will study eventually at A levels. The videos used are from Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet and unfortunately not all of them are currently available on YouTube. I would suggest to find the DVD and play it from there. The links were active at the time when I've created this SOW and published it. It's only recently that some of them have been taken down... Many thanks for your review and all the best.

Really great powerpoint with some really interesting looking activities. However, I can't see the worksheets that are referenced throughout the scheme. Are you able to share these too as it feels very incomplete without?

Hi, guys! Many thanks for your reviews. However, due to copyright infringement I cannot post the worksheets on TES, as some of them are from other platforms/teachers (try Teach It!). Use the name of the worksheet on the powerpoint to search it online, or would love to individually send it to you.

Worksheets are now scanned and added, as they had a Free Licence on Teach It. Let me know if you can download it, for those of you that already bought the SOW.
