This 40-paged, detailed and high quality workbook covers the entire play in a simplified and condensed way. This format is really suitable for low ability groups at KS4 or students studying the play in Years 7-9. The questions are mostly true/false statements, short answers or circling the correct statements, so that students of SEN/lower ability are not cognitively overloaded! The workbook covers contextual background, the summary of the plot, the characters and quizzes the students as mini-plenaries throughout the whole play. There are opportunities for writing exercises, like a letter from Benedick explaining his change. At the end of the unit, students analyse Shakespeare quotes and explain their meanings, now that they are equipped with the appropriate knowledge and retention of the plot and characters.

A quiz designed for revision of Sign of Four with answers. 6 rounds include: Recognising images that are blurred and what they mean Unscrambling anagrams for characters General knowledge rounds of the text Which Chapter am I in?

The premise of this SOW is to have frequent quizzes and comprehension questions to check understanding. Every lesson has a plenary quiz at the end to check comprehension and knowledge of the characters and the storyline. There are also recaps of particular terms like pathetic fallacy, narrative, gothic and narrator. Suitable for grades 4-5 attainment targets. The first two weeks are dedicated to a simplified version of contextual knowledge. I chose to omit Freud and the Id, Superego and Ego because it is designed for low ability. But you can add and alter the SOW and alter the fortnightly quizzes to add questions and reteach sheets on this if you wish. The activities are designed to be for low ability in the sense that they are given sentence starters whenever they do discussion pair work and they also do bingo cards for chapter reading. Audiobooks are attached to the reading parts. There is an assessment right at the end of the unit on whether or not Mr Hyde is a frightening character. Bonus: there are fortnightly quizzes with answers and reteach sheets, with time allocated in the SOW to have reflection and review of learning time.

I created a scheme of work that you could use to teach low ability or attainment target students of Grade 4-5. There are 30 lessons in total: 1 lesson on the context of Shakespeare and the Globe theatre 25 lessons on the plot, characters and extracts of the play 3 lessons on the recurring themes of love, conflict and fate 1 lesson on debate as to who is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet An assessment task (which I have purposefully left open to your own interpretation but you can follow my guide) This also includes: Storyboard of each Act with scenes template Themes quote bank board for students to fill Character profiles for students’ revision to fill There are also bonus revising of quotes games of Articulate and Connect Four. You do not need to read the play. Only the extracts provided and mentioned in the lessons! This will hugely break down the students’ understanding of the play and help them focus on characters, themes, quotes, plot and language.
