Instructional Ideas
- To keep the various characters and their relationships straight, divide the class into groups, assign each a different character, and have them create a poster that includes an illustration, names(s), and key details; have groups then attach strings to posters of other characters that reveal their relationships
Classroom Considerations
- None of the film versions are particularly inspired; however, the BBC Shakespeare version is worth a look, as you may like some of the key scenes
Pros
- The 19-page guide includes scene-by-scene plot summaries, links to sites that provide background information on Shakespeare and the play, pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading activities, discussion questions, and project ideas
