William Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ remains a significant text in a post-modern world, where the prosecutions of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein have shed fresh light onto gender inequality and sexual abuse. I have taught this text many times and have used this specific resource to lead my teaching in the classroom, as a distance learning/homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This beautifully engaging 21 slide PowerPoint lesson includes a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, theme tracking questions, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource (approximately 2-3 hours teaching time) that requires no additional labour from the overworked teacher. Enjoy.
