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.

Write a script.

Ask students to scan their copies of their play in order to list the format and features of a script.

Ask them also what kinds of information actors and directors need in order to create a play that matches the writer's vision.

You could also ask them to research a radio script and the features it includes. 

Now ask students to write a short play script for the radio based on the scene that they are studying- the events should be updated to take part in modern times.
