Join this Continuing Professional Development session to enhance your classroom teaching of Shakespeare’s epic tragedy Romeo and Juliet at Key Stage 4.

Aimed at Secondary English and Drama teachers, it will offer exciting techniques to engage with Shakespeare through active and creative approaches in the classroom. It provides teachers with a range of exciting activities to share with students to deepen their understanding of the play’s characters, context, themes and imagery, and develop their critical thinking skills.
