The Taming of the Shrew - Act 1

Full Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew' Scheme of Work

A complete, ready-to-teach A Level Scheme of Work for Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, taking students from their initial introduction to the play through detailed act-by-act study, analysis and exam preparation. The SOW provides structured lessons which guide students through specific scenes, extracts and key moments in the play, with clear directions about what to read and discuss. Lessons include key quotations, close language analysis, discussion questions, contextual material, character and theme exploration, critical interpretations and audience responses, helping students build their understanding progressively rather than simply reading through the text. The scheme combines teacher-led material with independent activities, extract analysis, essay planning and revision, making it suitable as a complete teaching sequence for Cambridge International A Level Literature in English.
