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.

Draw it!

This activity is for younger students or those with a visual learning style.

Working in groups, ask students to draw a specific scene.  They should draw but also incorporate as many appropriate quotes as possible. - e.g. a cloud bearing the quote- 'in thunder, lightening and in rain."  In drawing and labeling the scene students should become more aware of the imagery and the language that Shakespeare uses to evoke a scene.
