Firstly, there are six reading comprehension activities, or informational texts, about:

• William Shakespeare
• Macbeth
• Hamlet
• Romeo & Juliet
• A Midsummer Night's Dream
• Richard III

These activities require NO PREP and have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity, crossword puzzle and wordsearch for those fast finishers. Answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of each document.

Then, there is a biography writing unit about William Shakespeare and an opinion writing unit discussing which play is his greatest. The units have been split into three or four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Good luck, I hope you find the resource useful!
