Provide an extract from one of Shakespeare's biography's covering the missing years. Complete a comprehension exercise- that's the what.
Discuss with the class where you think he might have been and why.
Create possible hypothesis cards by explaining that writers often write about things with which they are familiar. Choose possible scenarios from different plays and put these on a hand out or sort card activity.
Students should then generate hypotheses about what Shakespeare might have been doing and why and then vote on which is the best.
Discuss why people are interested in accounting for the missing years.
