This is an extremely dense 12 page booklet with easily an entire scheme of work. This has been created to give year 7 an introduction to Shakespeare: to understand his life, works, times, theatre and to grasp how a script works. There are two pages which focus on Shakespeare’s villains (Don John and Iago) but in reality this is to simply expose students to Shakespeare’s life and characters rather than to complete in depth analysis of a plot and character. Although this was created with year 7 in mind it would fill a gap at any level of Key Stage 3 if students’ knowledge of Elizabethan England is lacking.
Both the editable Word document and .pdf are provided - please note the word document may not appear like the booklet pdf because of font use and formatting.
This booklet is also available as part of a Shakespeare bundle with two other KS3 booklets covering Shakespeare heroes and the idea of tragic heroes and Shakespeare’s relationships.
The booklet is as follows:
1 - front cover and basic dramatic terminology glossary
2 - William Shakespeare information with space to create a fact file
3 - Shakespeare’s works - basic information, followed by a task to understand the difference between comedies, tragedies and histories then sorting key plays into each type
4+5 - a double page spread with a timeline across Elizabethan and Jacobean England. At the top students can create a timeline of historical events and then plot Shakespeare’s life underneath (perhaps using page 2)
6 - Elizabethan entertainment - 4 boxes for students to complete information about bear baiting, bull baiting, cock fighting and the theatre - I have attached the factfile made to accompany this lesson.
7- The Globe Theatre - A label the Globe picture followed by a gap fill about its history (in image)
8- Understanding a script - the first scene of Macbeth is used to explain the layout of a script, followed by a gap underneath for students to make their own mini script using a similar layout and features.
9- Stage directions- a list of common Shakespeare stage directions with definitions for students to match followed by some complex stage directions to "translate"
10 - An explanation of the character and his motives, an extract from the play (1.3) and a series of questions which track students through the extract.
11 - An explanation of the character and his motives,an extract from 1.1 alongside a modern translation followed by a series of questions.
12- a common words glossary where students should independently record new words learnt.

One lesson with activities to get the children thinking about key questions.
About the unit in general:
The material in this unit contains ideas on how PSHE and Citizenship can be introduced in the early years. Many of the skills and values that fall within this area of the curriculum are taught throughout each day in an Early Years classroom. The qualities they encourage are illustrated on the following page. Three themes: • Fairness • Relationships • Choices have been covered in depth. Many of the qualities that are developed in PSHE and Citizenship are embraced within these particular subjects. They are fundamental to the Early Years curriculum. Timing In this unit most of the activities would take 10-15 minutes. However, some of the ideas presented are not full activities but suggestions of how to incorporate the topic into the everyday classroom

Dive deep into one of the most powerful ideas in mathematics — Differentiation — and help your students master the concept of derivatives as the foundation of Calculus I.
This comprehensive and interactive lesson plan introduces learners to the world of change, motion, and optimization, connecting mathematics to real-world phenomena in physics, economics, and everyday life.
Whether you’re teaching first-year university students or advanced high school learners, this resource is designed to make calculus intuitive, structured, and practical. Students will not only learn how to compute derivatives but also why they matter — understanding the story behind every equation.
**Why This Lesson?
Bridges Theory and Real Life:
Students don’t just memorize formulas — they see how derivatives describe real changes: how fast a car moves, how profits rise or fall, and how nature evolves over time.
Step-by-Step Clarity:
The lesson breaks down every concept with clear explanations, guided examples, and gradual progression, ensuring that learners understand each rule — from the power rule to trigonometric differentiation.
Critical Thinking & Application:
Beyond computation, students tackle optimization problems and rate-of-change applications, gaining the analytical skills they’ll need in physics, engineering, and economics.
Engaging Assessment Structure:
Includes multiple-choice and free-response questions, a guided practice section, and real-world problem-solving tasks to test understanding and boost retention.
Aligned With Academic Standards:
Carefully designed to meet key calculus standards such as HSA-APR.B.3, HSA-APR.C.5, and HSF-IF.B.6, ensuring it fits perfectly into university and advanced secondary curricula.
**What’s Inside This Lesson:
Comprehensive Learning Objective:
Students understand and compute derivatives of polynomial, exponential, and trigonometric functions while exploring their practical uses in optimization and change analysis.
Interactive Opening:
A real-world introduction about speed, motion, and change to connect abstract math to daily experiences.
Detailed Guided Practice:
Includes step-by-step examples (like finding the derivative of 𝑓(𝑥)=𝑥3+2𝑥2−𝑥f(x)=x3+2x2−x) and explanation of common mistakes students make when interpreting derivatives.
Independent Practice & Homework:
A variety of computation and word problems to help students build confidence and fluency.
Assessment Tools:
Ten multiple-choice questions and free-response exercises designed to challenge students’ reasoning and strengthen their problem-solving skills.
Perfect For:
University (Year 1) Calculus I Courses
Advanced 12th Grade Math Classes
STEM programs that integrate mathematics with physics or economics
Tutors & Instructors seeking a ready-to-teach calculus resource
Students preparing for college-level calculus or AP exams
