Description

A Practical Guide to Shakespeare for the Primary School offers a fresh approach to engaging with Shakespeare's works in the classroom. By removing the barriers that often surround his plays, this handbook aims to bring Shakespeare back into popular culture and make his work accessible to pupils of all ages.

Written by John Doona, this book provides clear and tried-and-tested schemes of work for four specific plays: The Tempest, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and Juliet. With comprehensive background notes, historical facts, and performance techniques, teachers will find practical guidance on how to deliver engaging lessons that have a dramatic impact on children's literacy and writing.

Linked to literacy targets and cross-curricular units of learning, this handbook promotes a holistic approach to teaching Shakespeare, making it an invaluable resource for teachers looking to inspire their pupils to engage with the Bard's works in a new and exciting way.
