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.

Shakespeare interview



Shakespeare is being interviewed on a tv magazine programme about his forthcoming new play - the one the students are studying.

Decide what kind of questions the interviewers ask.  A clip from The One Show or something similar may be useful here.  Generate the list of questions that the interviewers would ask.

Students then decide how they would answer the questions.

This can be extended to be a role play with interviewers, guests and Shakespeare or it could be an opportunity to learn more about script writing.
