Shakespeare Resource Bundle

By Language Arts Excellence

**Now with newly added material!**

This resource features a growing bundle of all of our best-selling lesson plans, materials, and activities for your unit on Shakespeare. Resources perfectly complement any Shakespearean play and can be used to introduce the unit (like the Elizabethan Mini-Unit, Scavenger Hunt, and PowerPoint), throughout the unit (Bell Ringers, Sonnet Lesson Plan, and "Death Lines" Activity), as a review (Shakespeare Escape Room), and even to decorate your classroom (Quote Posters). Each product is thoughtfully crafted and inspires students to delve deeply into Shakespeare's life and works. Lessons have all been classroom-tested and allow for differentiation while encouraging optimal student engagement. You will not find tedious lists of comprehension questions and vocabulary words in this bundle; instead you will find materials that will make Shakespeare relevant in the eyes of your students and bring the Bard to life!

Included in this Bundle:

⭐ Elizabethan England Mini-Unit

This is a differentiated mini-unit on Elizabethan England to prepare students for studying Shakespeare's works! It can be used as an introduction to any of Shakespeare's plays. It begins with a day of research into Shakespeare's life and times, then asks students to create a group collage on their topic and ultimately perform a presentation of their findings.

⭐ Introduction to Shakespeare Powerpoint, Scavenger Hunt & Lesson Plan

This resource features everything you need to conduct the perfect introduction to William Shakespeare for your students. Shakespeare can be undeniably intimidating for students, particularly if they have never had experience with reading his work before, so this lesson aims to engage and show that the greatest writer of all time was actually a pretty cool guy. The powerpoint offers a brief glimpse into the life and times of William Shakespeare and takes about 30 minutes to run through while encouraging optimal student engagement. The scavenger hunt encourages active learning as students discover answers to the 21 important questions throughout the lesson about the man, the myth, the Bard himself. This lesson plan and accompanying materials can be used to introduce a unit on any of Shakespeare's plays.

⭐Shakespeare ESCAPE ROOM

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Shakespearean Escape Room. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game.

⭐ 25 Shakespeare Bell Ringer Journal Prompts

This resource features a set of 25 reader response journal prompts for use during your unit on Shakespeare. Each bell ringer is comprised of a Shakespearean quote from one of his plays or sonnets and a thoughtfully crafted question that encourages students to personally connect and appreciate the timelessness of his work. Prompts can be used as bell-ringers (most popular and mean the first 5 minutes of every class for more than a month are planned for you!), summarizers, stations, full class or small group discussion questions, for homework, sub plans, as a filler activity… the possibilities are endless!

⭐ Sonnet 130 Lesson Plan

In this creative and engaging lesson plan, students will analyze one of Shakespeare's most famous love sonnets about the notorious Dark Lady and create their own original poetry inspired by the Bard. This resource provides step-by-step instructions using a format of warm-up, explanation, application, and synthesis with the aim to engage students from beginning to end. A teacher cheat sheet is also included with full notes on Sonnet 130 so no preparation is needed.

⭐ Shakespeare Valentine's Day Lesson Plan

This full-length lesson plan revolves around Shakespeare's mastery of the English language with an emphasis on his knack for coming up with the most compassionate of compliments and scathing of insults. Through a non-intimidating approach, students will have the opportunity to do a little bit of acting and make connections to modern day as they explore Shakespeare's language of love and hate. I am always astounded by the level of maturity of the discussion that arises from this activity as students discuss what makes a compliment or insult particularly effective and from whom it means the most. This is sure to be a lesson that you will use again and again on February 14th.

⭐ Shakespeare's "Death Lines" Lesson Plan

In this full-length lesson plan, students will closely examine the final lines of Shakespearean characters before their deaths (if you know Shakespeare, there are quite a few!). Following a mini-lesson on the importance of these final words, students will take part in the classic game, Mafia, with a unique, Shakespearean twist. I invented the take on this game several years ago and it has become one of my students' and my favorite days of the whole school year. There is truly nothing like seeing students having a great time while studying Shakespeare. I am confident that your students will love it too!

⭐ Shakespeare Human Tic Tac Toe Review Game ~ newly added!

This resource features a lesson plan and materials for the Human Tic Tac Toe Review Game, an engaging and competitive way to review Shakespeare and the Globe Theater. Let's face it, review days can be boring for both teachers and students, so liven them up with this collaborative game. The resource includes not only a meticulously detailed lesson plan and set-up instructions, but 30 questions on Shakespeare's life, works, and the Globe. Besides simple set-up, very little preparation is needed for this lesson and if your students are like mine, they will ask for this form of review for every unit of study.

⭐ William Shakespeare Quote Posters

Make your classroom pop with this set of 25 beautifully-made posters featuring quotes from William Shakespeare. Each 7.5 x 7.5 (square) PDF poster contains a noteworthy quote from one of the Bard's plays imposed over a stunning photograph that will spruce up your ELA classroom. The square format is reminiscent of Instagram and makes for an eye-catching arrangement on your wall or bulletin board. I suggest laminating the posters and using them not just during your Shakespeare unit, but all year long.

⭐ Shakespeare's Epitaph Assignment - BONUS FILE!!

Students get the chance to create the epitaph for the gravestone of the most revered writer of all time. The activity encourages students to be thoughtful with their knowledge of William Shakespeare but also to be creative with their inscriptions. This can be done in or outside of class and also works as a no-prep emergency substitute plan. To be festive, I love to give this assignment on the anniversary of Shakespeare's actual death, April 23, but with the subject at hand, it also works well as a Halloween lesson plan.

By purchasing these great resources as a bundle, you save over 20% off the cover price of all materials!

This resource bundle is great for:

  • Distance learning
  • Independent work
  • Homework
  • Guided reading sessions
  • Assessment practice
  • Reading interventions

These activities are online resources, that use Google Forms, and are linked to your Google Drive. They can be completed by students online using tablets, phones or computers, and are easily assessed by teachers as all the answers are provided in a quick and easy format.

⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻

Time allowance to complete each activity:

5-10 minutes - read through the text individually.

40-50 minutes - answer questions using the text as guidance (including extension activity)

Time allowance to assess:

A class set of activities might take around 15-20 minutes to mark; the teacher can then send the students their marks automatically, which allows them to read back through their work. Nearly all answers are not automatically generated, but only require a small amount of work to assign points. This is because the aim is to get students writing answers and not to just have multiple choice options.

Please ensure when you download this resource into Google Drive that you are logged in to the gmail account where you wish to store the activity. In the past teachers have downloaded resources into their school account in error. Thanks :)
