Much Ado About Nothing (Full Scheme)

Topic: Much Ado About Nothing
Ability: Mixed ability KS3
Number of lessons: 19 fully planned + 5 for feedback and assessment

This scheme guides KS3 students through a study of Much Ado About Nothing. Lessons include Act/Scenes to read and all relevant line numbers. I have included all necessary resources which can be adapted to suit your specific school’s needs.

The focus of the scheme is attitudes towards women. Students will explore this theme through structured talk and written responses. The structured talk encourages development of ideas, strong vocabulary and development of discussion skills.

Students will learn how to use “Whereas” sentences as a way of explaining contrasts between characters.

There are 19 lessons fully planned with resources that will take you to the start of Act 5 and preparing for an assessment. I have left those latter lessons unplanned because different schools build up to assessments in different ways.
