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.

Mind mapping

tragedy, history, comedy and romance.

Mind mapping activity and discussion.  Mind mapping is a good way of activating prior knowledge and giving students thinking time. It also links to Vygotsky and the concept that students learn more if they work in groups.  Mind mapping is a preliminary activity.

Students should then identify how their particular play fits into one of the different categories and justify their answer.

You may then wish to set an essay question on the topic.
