William Shakespeare’s tragedy ‘Othello’ remains a celebrated text, still being performed worldwide on-stage and also enjoying a number of reimaged film versions. The ‘Black Lives Matter’ and the ‘Me Too’ movements make this an essential text to study as students in the post-modern world. I have taught this text a number of times and have used this specific (revised) resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material (Google Meet lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students.
This beautifully illustrated 27 slide PowerPoint lesson includes a starter activity, a brief author biography, structured exploration questions connected to the themes, structured questions connected to the characterisation of leading characters, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. The study materials within this PowerPoint lesson contain approximately 3 hours teaching time in class. This is a complete resource with no additional work required from the teacher, enjoy!
