Shakespeare on Stage - English
As Year 8 tackle Shakespeare's timeless comedy 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', they have begun interpreting the text and drawing conclusions about Shakespeare's comedic representation of Helena, Hermia, Demetrius and Lysander.
Students were tasked with rewriting a scene from Act 2, Scene 2 into contemporary English, making it relevant to today. Student's rehearsed and some performed in front of the class, receiving lots of laughter from peers as Lysander fell hopelessly in love with Helena, as a result of a misplaced love potion.
The messages and themes presented in Shakespearean plays are still very relevant today and the students had fun showing this!
