This is a short unit I use with Year 8 when doing ‘Hamlet’. We tend to focus on Act One, so I start by exploring the opening scene. Students:

  • Read the scene aloud in groups (or as a whole class, if you like)
  • Complete a cloze exercise about the scene
  • Investigate how they would stage the ghost if they were producing the play in 1608

I usually show a YouTube clip of what the Globe Theatre would have been like at the time to help them visualise the scene.
