Introduction to Three Fold Shakespeare When approaching this workbook, each ‗scene‘ provides a three ‗fold‘ (or three step) approach to completing the student objectives. In each ‗scene‘, three different descriptions are used to provide a bridge to the next ‗scene‘. The eight individual ‗scenes‘ have been scaffolded towards a final performance piece. ‗Folds‘ focus predominantly upon the following concepts... View Play Discuss Research Read Write Perform – Suggest websites or videos of interest to engage and focus the learning. – Provide improvisational tasks or theatre games to explore subject themes. – Encourage class discussion as a means to examine the text, characters or other areas of interest. – Create opportunities for investigation into the historical aspects of the text and themes – Allow the reading and comprehension of textual examples of the subject and its influences – Offer scope for creative writing and drawing as a means of communicating personal ideas – Provide an arena for staging (in front of the class) a progression or final assessment piece. The individual ‗Scenes‘ follow the Department of Education‘s Scope and Sequence descriptors. This enables the workbook to support the principles of an effective Drama program and the assessment requirements of each course. Please note there are direct references to indicate the source of the various student worksheets. Some worksheets and activities have been altered to fit the requirement of this package and to link more appropriately with the scope of the program. The activities and worksheets included in this package have been chosen to support the differentiation of learning and the development of individual learning styles in order to make the program more accessible and inclusive. Warm up and vocal exercises have not been included in this package as these aspects are a reflection of the style and preference of the individual teacher. Please feel free to make use of the resources provided in a manner which best suits the requirements of your students and your personal teaching approach.
