A WHOOSH! drama activity for “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare.
The teacher narrates a story summary and calls in students from the circle to mime the characters, be props and create settings.
A great activity to introduce the story and themes, or summarise as a fun revision activity. Great for engaging students with Shakespeare and proving it’s FUN!
Teacher script, student lines and a “Whoosh - How To” included.

This is a concise 2-page summary of key critics from 17th, 18th, 19th , 20th and 21st century critical schools of thought about Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’.
William Shakespeare’s tragedy ‘Hamlet’ remains a celebrated text, still being performed worldwide on-stage and also enjoying a number of reimaged film versions. In our post-modern world of ‘false news’, ‘conspiracies’, ‘social media revenge’ and ‘corrupted politics’, Hamlet remains an essential text. I have taught this text a number of times and have used this specific (revised) resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material (Google Meet lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students.
This beautifully illustrated 14 slide PowerPoint lesson explores the characterisation of Claudius from a number of different perspectives. This dynamic lesson provides a number of short debate topics (encouraging the students to exchange ideas) and a number of structured written tasks. The study materials contained within this PowerPoint lesson provide approximately 2 hours teaching time in class. This is a complete resource with no additional work required from the teacher, enjoy!

Bricks are interactive digital learning units that combine the authority of a textbook with the excitement of a live, scoring game. They’re collectable too – once played, each brick becomes a virtual booklet the learner stores within a growing personalised library.
