La Casa de Bernarda Alba: Student directed reading activities

This is a 15 page document for students to use over the period of 3 weeks. Students read one act a week and complete the reading activities as they go or after their reading session. These completed activities then guide conversation in class the following week where the teacher checks that the student has understood the plot up as well as the students thoughts on certain characters and plot developments. There is room for conversation as well about cultural references which are important to understand about Spain in the 1930’s.
There is a writing task for each act, an opinion section, a tick list of events which includes a made up events which students have to spot and a table for students to note down any cultural references.
The end goal here is that students are fully aware of exactly what is happening in each act and how the plot is being developed by Lorca.
