This blog has come about because of a chance comment by one of my students. He said that he wished that there was somewhere he could go for ideas on how to teach Shakespeare to his class. I'm going to attempt one idea each day.

Tragic hero- the trial

Assign roles with prompt cards to help students to develop their role.  Each student plays a part.  It could be the characters or it could be the lawyers. You draw up the charge sheet. They all form the jury.

Hold the tragic hero's trial.  Students should draw on quotes from the text.
They should then decide whether the tragic hero is guilty as charged or whether there are mitigating factors.
