As well as providing practical guidance to classroom delivery and performance, techniques, approaches and attitudes, this handbook also promotes learning outcomes linked to literacy targets and cross-curricular units of learning.
The central chapters of the book form a comprehensive cross-curricular unit of work on four specific plays - The Tempest, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet - providing background notes and historical facts linked to the plays, along with comprehensive schemes of work for immediate implementation and ideas for generating performance.
