In order for the children to prepare for the workshop on Shakespeare’s ‘Tempest’ the children began by learning about the Globe Theatre where Shakespeare’s plays were performed. They learnt about the different genres’ of plays including, tragedies, comedies and historical based plays. We then as a class watched the BBC Animated Tale on the ‘Tempest’ as well as studied the acts and scenes from the play using the BBC website. In the workshop the children created physical images of scenes and characters from the play and performed sections from the play. It was a brilliant workshop.
