This lesson helps students examine Shakespeare’s comedic techniques in Act 2 scene 5 of ‘Twelfth Night’.
It is aimed at mixed ability Year 8, but with a little alteration (eg less scaffolding) could be adapted up to Year 10.
It focuses on comedy based in:
situation
character
exaggeration
inversion
imagery
irony
bawdiness
NB the bawdiness is quite rude! Delete as appropriate. You could swap the joke about ‘Cs, Us and Ts’ for a less offensive one, such as Malvolio referring to ‘playing with my… some rich jewel.’
Something went wrong, please try again later.
Nice clear concise lesson on the elements of comedy in the play.
Fabulous resource with interesting ideas and matching worksheet - very useful for a last minute replacement
