Year 8 Shakespeare Projects

Home  /  News  /  Current Page

As part of our study in Year 8 English, all of our students have been set the task of completing a group project on, ‘The Life and Times of William Shakespeare’.  This exciting project has encouraged our girls to acknowledge their cultural heritage and appreciate the origins of some of our most celebrated literature.

Our Shakespeare project has involved researching life in 17th century, learning about Shakespeare’s famous plays and finding out interesting information about his personal life.  Each group member had to take responsibility of one section and develop critical thinking skills in order to prioritise important information and present it in a creative way.

As we move towards group presentations, many of our students have excelled themselves and independently created their own models of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.  We are very impressed with the positive attitude and commitment to learning that our Year 8s have displayed throughout the creation of their Shakespeare project!
