Weeks 3-6

We will begin our Shakespeare unit by looking at his background, writing style and conventions, his playhouse, 'The Globe Theatre', and his extensive list of plays and their categories.  A quick game of Shakespeare bingo will reveal how prolific a writer he was.

Some short focus videos will give us an overview of his play, 'Macbeth' and we will begin our reading of an abridged script accompanied by video, some extracts of which appear below.
