Richard III: KS3 Activity Pack

This resource has been created as a supplement for any scheme of work on Richard III.

Challenge students to explore the play’s themes and issues, and gain a greater insight into Shakespeare’s craftsmanship.

I can immediately think of many different opportunities to use this resource in my current teaching at both KS3 and KS4

J Williams, English Teacher & Peer Reviewer
  • Differentiated, unique and stand-alone tasks for every event and scene for pupils to complete!
  • Appealing fonts and relevant pictures plus teacher commentary.
  • Extension activity for the more able for every task.
  • Encourage pupils to explain quotations in selected extracts
  • Use to introduce the play for GCSE level study!

Plus! Worksheet guidance provided for the trickier tasks.

What do teachers say about this resource? (2432)

This really attractive resource makes Richard III manageable... By covering every scene in every act, this resource allows students a thorough knowledge of the play through fun, bitesize chunks. It would be perfect as a supplementary resource, especially for cover lessons and extension tasks... I liked that the resources can stand alone and are ready to go straight from the pack! There were some original and creative activities... This is a useful resource for independent learning homework, cover lessons and silent lessons. It fosters high expectations of students but remains accessible: the resource checks understanding of the basic events and facts and then challenges students to analyse the details of language and consider the complexities of character... The annotations to the extracts were excellent and stop students stumbling... this would be empowering... The worksheets are attractive and would appeal to KS3 students... Matched really well to the whole range of abilities at KS3. GCSE assessment objectives are definitely met through the tougher questions, whilst the earlier sheets provide a good basic understanding of the play... I can immediately think of many different opportunities to use this resource in my current teaching at both KS3 and KS4.
