Similarities and differences

identify two key speeches in the play that is being studied.  Give students a chance to make an analysis of the two speeches.

Start the discussion by saying something that the two speeches have in common e.g. the use of similes.
The next person to speak (and it may be fairer to do this by the spillikin method where each person's name is on a stick which can then be drawn at random) must say in what way the speech is different e.g. The similes follow the same theme but the emotion expressed is different.

You can either nominate similarities, differences or leave it in the hands of the students.
