Introducing Shakespeare's poetry for the first time? These three interesting, rigorous lessons provide a great 'way in' for teenagers.
Lesson 1 scaffolds how to go about understanding the poem, leaving students ready to interpret the poem creatively.
Lesson 2 asks students to determine for themselves what makes a sonnet. It will be a valuable resource for teachers looking to teach or recap rhyme, metre, and structure.
Lesson 3 uses a great TED talk by Akala, a very well-informed British rapper, where he demonstrates similarities between iambic pentameter and rap. Students then have a go at making their own (humorous) version of the poem using a cloze version of the poem.
Everything you need for a successful lesson is present, including pre-starters to capture attention, starters to kick-start inquiry, teaching points, independent or group work, and reflective plenaries. The worksheets link to the presentations. All resources are easily editable if you wish to make them your own.
