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.

Shakespeare game.

This is creative.  Ask students to study board games - to make an analysis of the rules etc.

Now ask them, in small groups, to create a board game based on the Shakespeare text that they are studying.  It is entirely up to them how they do it and what aspect of the play is covered, it coul dbe language based or it could be based on plot or character - but it should be created, packaged and there should be an advert to go with it.  Groups should present their board game and explain the target audience and the format.

They should write a review of it.
