Shakespeare Essay Writing Tips

This resource is a fantastic scaffold for writing essays on Shakespeare up to GCSE level. There are a range of writing phrases that help students integrate language, structure, dramatic devices and context into their writing. It is useful for students that are being introduced to essay writing as there are a variety of sentence starters and a paragraph template. It can also be used with more competent students as there is a stretch and challenge section that encourages an appreciation for ambiguity / multiple readings of words and phrases. There is also a series of essay questions that can be used for short individual writing tasks.
