Various activities on Titus Andronicus. I read this play at uni and LOVED it. It is certainly Shakespeare’s most violent and perhaps also most comical play, and has been left behind with teachers overwhelmed by Romeo and Juliet etc etc. If you want to do something DIFFERENT this play has much to offer both KS3 students in terms of Shakespearean characterization and language especially visual imagery (see death of Lavinia). Also has some of the most memorable speeches in Shakespeare (see the ultimate villain; Aaron’s speech before his execution; when asked whether he is sorry, he says he is only sorry he did not do a thousand more crimes and goes on to list the most incredible horrific and darkly humourous crimes). Boys particularly love this play. I haven't been able to teach it in ages- I actually did it with a top set year 8 class which raised a few eyebrows!

Please can you include the Scheme of work overview so we can see the order of lessons?
Some excellent resources here. Thanks for sharing. Only problem is the page numbers you use - which edition of Titus is it from? Would be useful knowing that. Thanks
