Shakespeare Summer Reflection

As you will be continuing with preparation for your CA on Much Ado About Nothing in September, it would be good to do the following before your first lesson back:

1) Read through your quote grids, thinking about your Points and Explanations. Could you develop them further?

2) Practise writing small chunks of your essay. Try an opening/introduction. What will your conclusion look like? Plan some ideas.

3) Do some wider reading about key ideas/themes in the play and the characters of Beatrice and Benedick. See the links in previous posts.

4) The GCSE Bitesize link here is also worth looking at:

Look at the sections on Character, Themes and Language in particular.


Have a lovely summer!

It has been a pleasure working with you all this year.
