Hopefully many of you have been enjoying the introduction of a number of William Shakespeare plays each month in the BMS Newsletter. Well, things are about to get even more exciting! Next week is officially ‘Shakespeare Week’. It is supported by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and the Arts Council and falls during the 15th to the 21st of March 2021. KS3 students will have the opportunity to take part in a special one off English lesson where they will be introduced to Sonnets and have the chance to write their own. Not only that but the best ones will receive an R3 and be published in the BMS Newsletter!
In the meantime, why not check out: https://www.shakespeareweek.org.uk/ and https://www.youtube.com/c/ShakespeareBirthplaceTrust Here you will find access to a range of different material in honour of Shakespeare. There are a number of videos and activities that children and adults can join in with. These range from special performances, Tudor recipes from Shakespeare’s era, drawing and Lego building with step by step instructions. There is even a section dedicated to Geography with maps of some of the locations used as the setting for Shakespeare’s plays!
For our A level students or older readers why not check out The British Library website. https://www.bl.uk/shakespeare They have some articles dedicated to many aspects of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets.
