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.

Annotation post-it challenge.

Annotating text is an important skill.  Photocopy a scene or an important passage from the play that you want learners to study in detail. Ask students to use post-its to sign post important information (one colour); language features (another colour); things they're unclear or uncertain about (a third colour).

You should have a large copy of the text available at the front or on the interactive white board.  Students should then place their post its in the correct place on the large text.  Discuss where there are similarities, go through the things that learners are unclear about using question and answer technique.
