This is a 14-slide PowerPoint presentation which includes a video extract from the RSC of the famous soliliquy being performed. It considers the main themes of the Scene but also includes some questions for students to think about and/or discuss, as well as a more detailed analysis of how a particular question might be approached. The presentation focuses on Act 3, Scene 1 of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It begins by setting the scene and introducing the characters, providing context for the themes discussed later. The main themes explored are appearance vs. reality and madness. Setting the Scene: The scene takes place in the castle of Elsinore, where the characters are gathered to watch a play. The atmosphere is tense due to Hamlet’s erratic behavior. Introduction of Characters: Key characters include Hamlet, Ophelia, Polonius, and the Players. Each character’s role and significance in the play are discussed. Appearance vs. Reality: This theme is explored through Hamlet’s soliloquy and the Players’ performance. Hamlet’s soliloquy reveals his distrust of appearances and his desire for truth, while the Players’ performance highlights how appearances can be deceiving. Madness: The theme of madness is closely linked to appearance vs. reality. The characters’ behavior and dialogue are analyzed to uncover the extent of their mental breakdown. Conclusion: The presentation concludes by emphasizing the intertwined themes of appearance vs. reality and madness, and their significance in Act 3, Scene 1 of Hamlet. Discussion Points: The presentation ends with discussion points to engage the audience in further analysis of the themes and characters.

This is a 40-slide PowerPoint presentation which would be great as a starting point with a class about to embark on a study of Hamlet OR as a revision-aid once they have studied the play. It includes questions and discussion points as well as a review quiz at the end. The PowerPoint is constructed as follows: Firstly, it provides an overview of the play, discussing Hamlet’s quest to avenge his father’s murder while grappling with indecision, madness, and moral dilemmas. The historical context is explored, highlighting the political instability and religious conflict in early 17th century England, which is reflected in the play’s portrayal of a corrupt and troubled court. The theme of revenge is examined through Hamlet’s procrastination and the contrasting decisiveness of characters like Laertes and Fortinbras. Madness is discussed as a reflection of political instability and corruption, with debates on whether Hamlet is truly mad. The theme of corruption and decay is analyzed through political corruption, physical decay imagery, and moral corruption. The theme of appearance vs. reality is explored through deception, manipulation, and the play-within-a-play device. The theme of action and inaction is examined through Hamlet’s hesitation, moral qualms, and philosophical musings. The presentation also includes discussion points and analysis, potential examination questions, and a revision quiz. It concludes with reflections on the enduring relevance of “Hamlet” and its exploration of human nature, complex characters, and themes of power, politics, and deception.

This is a 40/50-minute PowerPoint presentation on the GunPowder Plot, consisting of 14 slides. It is aimed at 14-16 year-olds but could be delivered to younger groups including Primary pupils. The presentation includes speakers notes and no further work would be required by the teacher. Contents of presentation: The plot was orchestrated by Guy Fawkes and a group of Catholic conspirators who planned to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The failure of the plot led to further persecution of Catholics in England and had a profound impact on English society. The presentation also covers the aftermath of the plot, including the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act, which required an annual public thanksgiving from 1606 to 1859. Despite the repeal of the act, the tradition of bonfires and fireworks continued, and Guy Fawkes Night is still celebrated in the UK to this day. Additionally, the presentation discusses the history and significance of fireworks. Fireworks were invented in China and were initially used for entertainment and to scare away evil spirits. They have since become a symbol of celebration and are used to commemorate significant events, including the failure of the Gunpowder Plot. The presentation concludes by highlighting the impact of the Gunpowder Plot on English society and the importance of understanding this historical event to gain a deeper appreciation of English culture and history.
