William Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ remains a significant text in a post-modern world, where the prosecutions of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein have shed fresh light onto gender inequality and sexual abuse. I have taught this text many times and have used this specific resource to lead my teaching in the classroom, as a distance learning/homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students.
This beautifully engaging 17 slide PowerPoint lesson focuses on the characterisation of Katherine through a series of structured discussions and written tasks. This is a complete resource (approximately 2 hours teaching time) that requires no additional labour from the teacher. Enjoy.
