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.

Story boards and cartoon strips

For younger students a story board or cartoon strip is a useful way of identifying main plot points and key quotes.

Alternatively try creating cartoons from different characters viewpoint for different tellings of the story and points of view.

Follow up with a discussion as to why there are different view points and what Shakespeare does to sway the audience's opinion one way or another.
