Analyzing Character and Theme: Tracking Control in A Midsummer Night’s Dream


Description

Students have experienced Shakespeare in the Drama Circle many times. You have facilitated discussions of the play, and students have considered text-dependent questions in Discussion Appointment pairs or whole group. This has provided the necessary scaffolds for students to try answering text-dependent questions without as much guidance. Thus, in this lesson, after the Drama Circle, students move around and discuss text-dependent questions in a Three Threes in a Row activity. This provides a change of pace and helps them build confidence to read Shakespeare more independently.
