These three videos introduce King lear to a new Year 13 group. My focus is to consider first the nature of Kingship and then to look closely at the first two scenes of the play, to help to establish some good working practices and also to clarify the plot as it develops.

I hope it is of use.

Words, words, words... well said Hamlet! A little blog to go off on tangents within the worlds of history and literature that interest me. From the Tudors to Tom Hardy's Tess, or from the Wars of the Roses to Wuthering Heights, feel free to browse through my musings to pick up extra ideas and points for discussion!
