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.

Cloze

Cloze activities require students to fill in the missing word or idea.  There is often a word bank that students can use to select the correct words.

Cloze can be used to check understanding but be warned - students with dyslexia struggle with this type of exercise.

For greater freedom why not give the students the word bank as cues/ prompts for the piece that they are writing about.
