Shakespeare is one of the world's most popular playwrights and a solid understanding of the language found in his works is vital to excelling in English. In this class students will get an overview of how to analyse using a short extract from ‘Romeo and Juliet’ including things such as genre, purpose and audience. Students will also learn the best methods of how to comment on the effects of language features and how to embed and explain quotations. This class is great for anyone wanting to fully understand Shakespeare's works!
