A mega detailed analysis of 23 scenes
A detailed revision test on ACT V which really stretches them
A great sample essay answer on guilt
Supporting contextual background on Shakespeare
Handy and colourful quotation flyers for your classroom displays
Language and gender…do men and women have different genderlects?
What linguistic features can be seen in male and female conversation…if any?
What does the research say?
These two HUGE resources cover the whole unit… the 47 page unit covers all the main areas of structural, theoretical and spoken variation and addresses some examples of gender bias within written texts, while the second resource covers gender bias in more depth, using fun and colourful resources, taken from horoscopes, problem pages, marriage guides, romance novels and news stories.
Nice mix of background information and focussed textual tasks. The pack includes:
1) Overview and introduction slides on the play's main protagonists
2) A second general introduction to Shakespeare slideshow, with interesting images and questions.
3) Fun interactive Q & A 'odd one out' activity which is very stretching as it forces students to think imaginatively and originally, enabling differentiation to take place enjoyably.
4) Very good Romeo tracker sheet, enabling students to map Romeo's changing views of love through the play.
This bundle has a lot of material to help you get your students enthused about Shakespeare's best known villain. It contains three PowerPoints which introduce and contextualise the history of Richard III, explore his use of language, introduce new linguistic techniques and finally leads students up to writing a full essay on his use of language to control others. Also included in the bundle is a great introduction to Shakespeare slideshow which, ideally, starts off the topic, and a handy guide to Shakespearean grammar. Finally, I include the worksheet for a Shakespearean insults tournament, which the kids love as Richard has so many opponents they can script for. This last task is great value as it works well with lots of plays besides this one.
Fun and varied selection of files to enrich the students' knowledge of Shakespeare, including:
A full 14 slide overview of Shakespeare's life, context, times and language, with lots of facts and images to interest the students
A handy guide to Shakespearean grammar, ideal for role play work.
Helpful ‘Odd One Out ‘activity for 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', differentiates really well across rhe ability range and easily adaptable for other popular school Shakespeare set texts.
A whole term of work here. The first 47 page unit is meant as a teacher’s guide to all the key course areas, although you may wish to photocopy sections for the students. The second resource is a very thorough lesson pack with resources for gender bias in written texts, lots of funky images and amusing texts for your students to analyse.
All you need to get the kids started: a full slideshow PowerPoint about Shakespeare's life and historical context, a handout on Shakespearean grammar, followed by a great fun activity asking students to write in the style of an Elizabethan lady vistiing London.
It's hard to find good teaching resources on gender biases within written texts, which is why I created these. I used them in an observed lesson and there is enough material here to fill a double, or you could do one text a period. The pack contains: a full slideshow which introduces the topic, explores ideology with fun examples and cartoons, asks differentiated questions and spgets students thinking about the topic. It also has task guideline slides to steer them through their exercise. This is to work through a series of newspaper and advisory texts which may reveal gender bias. Students are encouraged to use linguistic terminology and frameworks. The slideshow also has answers at the end, which helps students improve their textual analysis and annotation skills as they get to see what they missed. The texts themselves are hilarious, especially the tabloid ones! If you teach in a single sex school, this one's a must! Bound to excite good discussions!
A very thorough and detailed resource which defines difficult terms, provides students with a range of fun and varied examples and explores gender bias in speech and carefully sourced written texts. The scanned pdf is fine and readable, but is an early ‘work’ from when I examined the A level, so is a little old and not full of fancy images and video clips. However, it is a complete teaching pack, ideal for a teacher having to plan this fascinating unit at short notice. I am currently uploading a range of recently created Language and Gender resources this month, so do follow me.
Sorry for the title pun, but we are doing a Shakespeare resources bundle! It includes: a detailed and thorough revision pack of the whole play, a thorough and differentiated slideshow on anti-semitism designed to stretch the more able kids and contextualise the play, a good opening slideshow which introduces students to who Shakespeare was and his own historical context, a very detailed close textual analysis of 'To bait fish withal.', a difficult key speech.
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!
