Warm up activity for animal imagery.
"If I was an animal I'd be a ... because..."
e.g. If I was an animal I'd be a lion because they're brave and the king of the beasts.
All the students take it in turns. Discuss the way we perceive different animals in different ways and the characteristics that we associate with them.
You may also wish to look at cliches and stereotypes e.g. as mad as a March hare. This could be done as a list generation activity. Students could then research where the saying comes from. A surprising number of sayings do originate with Shakespeare.
