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.

The Shakespeare Trail 1

This set of activities is designed for younger students.

Prepare a comprehension exercise using a tourist brochure on one of the Stratford tourist attractions.

Explain that it is an information leaflet.  Discuss what makes it informative.


Then ask what sort of people would be attracted by the brochure and what makes it persuasive.  Introduce students to the primary and secondary purposes of a text.
