Shakespeare Week is on the way! This pack contains a great set of A4 display pages. Each has a different quotation to make your students think. Under each quotation, which should be big enough for classroom displays, I’ve put a concise summary of what the quotation is about, who said it, and the scene reference. Teaching: you could quickly insert the ‘animation’ function into my PowerPoint to turn this int a great classroom quiz, as the coloured explanatory text is essentially the ‘answer’ -so you get a display and a quiz in on e! The quotations cover the Histories, Tragedies, Comedies and Late Plays. I have chosen more for ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to help our GCSE students! Teaching: you could quickly insert the ‘animation’ function into my PowerPoint to turn this int a great classroom quiz. Happy Shakespeare Week, gentles all. Please browse my shop (search under ‘Shakespeare’) for other resources, including a Shakespearean insults tournament lesson and lots of revision packs.

Clear and varied presentation which engages the students and gives them clear facts and points on the playwright's life. The objectives are to give rhe students a historical overview, trigger questions from them, and to test them on on key facts at the end. It establishes a knowledge base for them.The slide with Elizabeth I's Armada portrait is very helpful as there are many images on the pairing that the students can talk about. Ask them: how is the painter of this picture portraying Elizabeth as a powerful queen? Expect lots of varied answers. The presentation is a good differentiator and triggers great classroom discussions whilst enabling the students to have a better grasp of Shakespeare's own life and contextual background. Ideal for any secondary age. I've used it at KS3, GCSE, IGCSE and A level. Bargain!
