I LOVE SHAKESPEARE!

Hello everybody, here you have my work: a CLIL unit about Shakespeare and theatre.

This unit is designed for students in 4th year of E.S.O and it belongs to English Literature. Its Learning outcomes are:

• To distinguish different kinds of literary texts
• To know the most important facts of Shakespeare´s life
• To recognize the main characteristics of Shakespeare´s work
• To identify the different parts you can find in a theatre

And the subject contents are the following:

• The characteristics of Shakespeare´s Works
• Relevant facts and dates of Shakespeare´s life
• The most influential plays and sonnets
• Historical background: XVI-XVII Centuries

Session 1

This session serves as an introduction to the unit. The students explain their opinions and preferences about different leisure time activities looking at some photos:

They have to work in pairs asking and answering some questions, After this introduction, they are going to look at this presentation  http://es.slideshare.net/Maririzosp/presentacin-parts-of-a-theatre?qid=63bc3d24-e86b-4cca-ab19-85567a451201&v=qf1&b=&from_search=40  in order to learn the main parts of a theatre. After this, they are going to do some activities based on the vocabulary they have seen:

- Label the pictures with the words in the box:

Dressing Room    Curtain    Backstage    Orchestra Pit    Stage    Auditorium

-   Go to http://en.educaplay.com/en/learningresources/1822522/match_the_words___definitions.htm and match the words with their definitions.

And finally they have to answer some questions to ensure comprehension.

Session 2

In this session there is again an introduction with photos. The students have to guess who are these people: 

I

And after that they are going to read a text about the Elizabethan age. They have to scan it to find the answers to some questions. When they finish this activity, there is a webtask about Shakespeare´s life. The students search the information required and they write a summary. Here is the link:

Session 3

It starts with a brainstorming exercise in which the students have to remember relevant information from the previous session. Then they increase their knowledge with a text and some exercises we find in this webpage:  http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=9333

To finish with session 3, I have made a videoquiz about The Globe theatre where they have to answer questions with multiple choice answers. After this exercise the students write a short conclusion of what they have learned with the previous activity. You can find the videoquiz activity here:    http://en.educaplay.com/en/learningresources/1817801/the_globe.htm

Session 4

As an introduction, there is a picture of two sonnets:

SONNET I From fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel. Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.     Pity the world, or else this glutton be,     To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee. SONNET II When forty winters shall beseige thy brow, And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field, Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now, Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held: Then being ask'd where all thy beauty lies, Where all the treasure of thy lusty days, To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes, Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise. How much more praise deserved thy beauty's use, If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,' Proving his beauty by succession thine!     This were to be new made when thou art old,     And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.

To learn about this kind of literature, they are going to look at this presentation: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/shakespeare-sonnets-6068558 

It includes formal aspects of analysis and questions they have to answer. Then they are going to listen the sonnets I and II in this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=109&v=h2KeALDmztQ

Finally, the students have a task in which they have to choose a sonnet from Shakespeare's collection, analyze it, quess its meaning and practice rhythm and intonation to read it aloud.

Session 5

Here the students are going to present their sonnets task, and they are going to compare their work with the rest of the class.

Session 6

This session talks about tragedy, comedy and history. The students have to read a text and complete a chart with some information. This is the text:    http://shakespearecrazy.wikispaces.com/What+is+the+difference+between+tragedies,+comedies,+and+histories+and+what+are+they%3F

And this is the chart: 

	The actors have to be…	Main characters	Main topics	Other relevant information
Tragedy
Comedy
History

To finish with this session, they are going to learn the names of the most famous plays written by Shakespeare. The information is presented in a timeline, to facilitate comprehension.

Session 7

In this session there is a final task in which the students have to write a card. It contains a summary of a play they have chosen (from the timeline we used the previous day), a mind map to present the main characters and a picture to illustrate their work. I have chosen Hamlet as an example; here they have a model of a summary: http://www.shakespeareinamericancommunities.org/plays/hamlet

and also an example of a mind map:

Session 8

The students are going to present their work about the play they have chosen, and afer this, they are going to discuss about their likes and dislikes of different plays.

Session 9

In the last session we are going to review the main vocabulary related to Shakespeare´s life and work. To do this we play hangman here: http://www.proprofs.com/games/word-games/hangman/william-shakespeares-hangman-game/

In the end, there is a revision of all the aspects included in this unit. we do this through two activities:

      

• ·         With the whole class, say what you have learned about the theatre and Shakespeare: brainstorming ideas. Try to remember as many details as possible.

• ·         Finally, in groups, say what was your favourite session and why. Discuss with your group. 

  

And that is all my work! I think it is useful because it includes a lot of different information, but presented in an attainable way. If you need more information about materials or activities, you can read my previous article in this blog. I hope you like it.
