What do teachers say about this resource? (2431)

I thought this was very well thought out. I think it would be a great asset in the classroom and could be easily differentiated.

It gave a good background into Shakespearean times and some very entertaining worksheets, I especially liked translating Shakespearean words, posters, reviews, identity parade, directing the play and creating storyboards. I appreciated the deeper analysis of the story and the characters.

It gives a good balance of fun and information. The students would learn through a combination of tasks, analysis and interesting projects.

An excellent accompaniment to any scheme of work... full of stand-alone resources... Well differentiated and gradually increases in level of difficulty. I particularly like that there are answers!... Interesting activities, diverse... Good that it refers to rhyme and rhyme scheme; something that is often overlooked... A well-pitched explanation... This is brilliant... It would be motivational for pupils to be given such well-considered worksheets... can also be used as a support material outside of the usual scheme being taught by the teacher, e.g. as an ongoing homework project... very versatile!... Clear presentation... An excellent resource.

The extracts and questions were really useful as a practical teaching resource - a collection of worksheets that could be used as when required
