What do teachers say about this resource? (761)
Excellent... I would not hesitate to purchase this resource. It would be a very valuable, accessible asset on which to base lesson planning. It is also a well-structured reminder, to a busy teacher, of the key points and themes in the play. It begins with background knowledge, and then continues with interesting and clear activities... Questions are ‘open’ enough to encourage extended thought, but with plenty of supporting pointers for less able students.
This is a fun resource that has an emphasis on active learning. Discrete tasks are available for all five acts of the play, ranging from detailed analysis to research. It would be best used as a ‘companion’ for a first reading in class as the tasks are designed to aid understanding as students progress through the play.
