Teaching the Shakespearean Single Text (PP)

Teaching the Shakespearean Single Text

Date:     Tuesday 16th January 2024
Time:     7 - 8 pm
Venue:  Online via Zoom

The Single Text is one of the more challenging components of the Senior Cycle English Syllabus. As most teachers opt to choose a Shakespearean text, students are contending not only with a lengthy plot and a multitude of characters but also with a language that can prove challenging.

In this webinar, Claire will provide practical advice on how best to approach the Shakespearean Single Text, including:

  • Guidance on how to contextualise Shakespeare for your students
  • Methodologies that support the reading/learning of the texts in the classroom
  • Particular focus on Hamlet and King Lear as currently relevant
  • Guidance on the teaching of key themes, language and imagery and characterisation
  • A breakdown of past exam questions
  • Guidance on how to approach reinforcing quotation
  • Sample answers and presentations
