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 and performing Shakespeare. Your students will ask to play this game again and again!
Product Includes:
- Full-Length Lesson Plan
- "Final Words" Do-Now
