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.

Animal imagery 2
Find a quote relating a character to an animal. Ask students to identify what they learn about the character and what assumptions they make from this portrayal. Depending on the play that your students are studying there may be several quotes to choose from. If this is the case provide several examples, ask students to find others and use a plot line to see whether the theme is developed and how it affects the way that we view the characters in question.
