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.

Updating Shakespeare's plays or not.

Discuss which of Shakespeare's plays have been updated.

Discuss in class, you may wish to provide prompts, whether it is right to update Shakespeare's plays or whether they should be performed as they were first intended.

Once the class discussion has taken place ask students to write a discursive essay justifying their opinions.
