In this series of classes we will discover the world of Shakespeare with this brilliantly-told retelling of Shakespeare's best loved play which is a perfect introduction for younger readers. Class 1: An introduction to Shakespeare, his life, his home, his works. We will look through a short and engaging slide show to give the class a context. We will also talk about where his plays would have been originally performed with a focus on The Globe. The next 3 classes will all be structured in the same way... PLEASE NOTE: Follow up activities are totally optional but can be submitted for response if completed. Class 2: An introduction to the play; slow and appreciative reading of text (readers can take turns to read, or can follow with their own text if they prefer); a language deep dive during which we discuss some of the examples of Shakespearean language; a discussion time for us to share our responses to what we have read and a chance to set follow up activity. Class 3: A recap of what we have read so far; continuation of slow and appreciative reading of text (readers can take turns to read, or can follow with their own text if they prefer); a language deep dive during which we discuss some of the examples of Shakespearean language; a discussion time for us to share our responses to what we have read and a chance to set follow up activity.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am so excited to introduce myself as an Outschool teacher. My name is Kelly and I live on the Jurassic Coast in Devon, England, UK.
I have been inspiring students as a teacher for almost 25 years, both in school and online. My online classes are as creative and interactive as my face to face lessons, with my ethos being all about lighting the spark and developing a love for learning. I believe that learning happens best when there is engagement and enjoyment, and my classes follow this principle. Lessons are taught using fun and interactive resources. For younger learners this includes physical resources, (puppets, pictures, objects), songs, music and movements. For older students I ensure classes are visual and include full colour slides, interactive games and activities to ensure learners are engaged at all times.
In group classes, all learners are valued and given individual time to engage and respond - and I pride myself on finishing a session with each student feeling they have achieved !
1-1 classes are bespoke and carefully planned to ensure the needs of individuals are met in an inspiring way.
So come and join the hundreds of students I have made a difference to and sign up for a class that suits your needs.
