In this William Shakespeare package we feature a song from ‘The Tempest’ and songs from ‘Cymbelene’ and ‘Hamlet’. In the Powerpoint presentation, Professor Bacon is your guide to first drafts of these Shakespearean songs lost till now in an old trunk. The problem is that the songs’ lines and their verses have been hopelessly jumbled. However, as Joan Collins once said, “Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I’ll show you someone who has never achieved much.” Professor Bacon’s challenge is to edit these line and verses into their correct order. His presentation is littered with Shakespearean insults and compliments. Once the tasks have been correctly completed you’ll have no more weedy beef-witted jolt-heads in your presence - just a class full of gallant, wide-eyed wafer-cakes! Ideal for children in Upper KS2 and KS3. As well as the presentation, this package includes all necessary texts for photocopying and editing. All the money raised from the sale of this resource goes to MedEquip4Kids. This is a local charity for children that works with medical staff, community nurses and other registered charities to provide equipment and improve facilities in hospitals.

This William Shakespeare resource package is an introduction to Shakespeare’s rich, Elizabethan language. Looking particularly at songs from ‘The Tempest’ and ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ Professor Francis Bacon is your guide – and he has a large box crammed with (until now) unknown first drafts of songs Shakespeare featured in his plays. Unfortunately, each draft is, well, a bit of a mess and in real need of editing. To almost quote Eric Morecambe, it’s the right words but not necessarily in the right order. The songs featured here are from ‘The Tempest’ and ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ and the focus is on the end rhymes of the songs. It’s a different activity for each song, but the invitation to young readers is to do the editing and in so doing, play with and engage with the language in an active, creative way. As with a lot of Shakespeare’s work this presentation is littered with Shakespearean insults. So, don’t have young readers that are lumpish, guts-griping maggot-pies. Turn them into precious, honey-tongued editors! As well as the presentation, this package includes all necessary texts for photocopying and editing. Ideal for solo, paired or group work. Ideal for children in Upper KS2 and KS3. All the money raised from the sale of this resource goes to MedEquip4Kids.
