A full scheme of work with presentations for Othello, perfect for any A-Level/KS5/IB Diploma level class. There is a Powerpoint for most scenes of the play, so this is perfect for a truly in-depth study, or certain scenes can be selected if short on time. For ease, I have labelled each scene with a short summary of what happens in case you can’t remember what happens in Act II scene ii! I am a Shakespeare specialist and this SOW has been planned carefully with lots of discussion opportunities and questions that can be posed to students… The unit aims to encourage close reading/annotation/inference skills. Lessons focus on understanding the text, its key themes and wider historical context. If possible, the scheme should be taught in conjunction with the National Theatre’s excellent production from 2014 starring Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear. This can be rented from the NT At Home website, but the RSC’s recent production would also be excellent.
