"Livewire Shakespeare" provides lower-ability pupils or pupils with special educational needs with access to the true text of Shakespeare's plays. This Teacher's Book complements the Student Book, which covers the complete play through plot summaries integrated with illustrations in the form of non-patronising cartoon sequences. The Student Book also uses unabridged selections of real text which are integrated with extracts from key scenes and annotated for easy access. This photocopiable teacher's resource contains stimulating activities focused on the play and further information on the social, cultural and historical background to Shakespeare's life and times. This Teacher's Book is for use with pupils aged 11 and upwards with lower reading levels and pupils with special educational needs who are expected to enter the Shakespeare Key Stage 3 SAT paper. All "Livewire" texts are fully assessed by the Basic Skills Agency to ensure maximum readability and accessibility.
