Much Ado About Nothing: Study Guide for GCSE

Suitable for: Edexcel | AQA | OCR | Eduqas | WJEC

Blending elements of both comedy and tragedy with witty word play, strong characterisation and important messages about gender equality and the consequences of dishonesty, it is no wonder there is so much ado about Much Ado.

This comprehensive GCSE guide offers targeted, detailed notes and analysis to lead students through the play.

A very comprehensive resource... I would certainly recommend it

What do teachers say about this resource? (9626)

A very comprehensive resource... The depth of information on themes, language, structure, context and the authorial voice will enable teachers to teach students of all abilities as there are opportunities to adapt the material and differentiate... What I particularly liked was the way in which the key themes and ideas developed scene by scene... What is also good is the fact that the author explores the differences between key characters who are 'paired'... Flexible too as it covers the four main exam boards... I would certainly recommend [this guide].
