Shakespeare is one of our key historical figures but so often he
remains locked behind glass and hard to reach. The purpose of this
book is to unlock Shakespeare, to remove the tag of high art that
has surrounded his work and return him to the heart of popular
culture where his plays began in the first place. In his foreword,
playwright Edward Bond says of A Practical Guide to Shakespeare for
the Primary School, It is written with knowledge and experience of
its subject but also with the knowledge of the young people with
whom that experience was shared .
John Doona will inspire and motivate pupils and teachers alike
to engage with Shakespeare in a fresh and accessible manner and
provide clear, tried and tested schemes of work which demonstrate
how engagement with the plays and their language can have a
dramatic impact on children s literacy and writing. As well as
providing practical guidance to classroom delivery and performance,
techniques, approaches and attitudes, this handbook also promotes
learning outcomes linked to literacy targets and cross-curricular
units of learning.
The central chapters of the book form a comprehensive
cross-curricular unit of work on four specific plays The Tempest,
Macbeth, A Midsummer Night s Dream and Romeo and Juliet providing
background notes and historical facts linked to the plays, along
with comprehensive schemes of work for immediate implementation and
ideas for generating performance.
