Ch8 Shakespeare Workshop

“Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo”.

This week, Romeo and Juliet visited Liverpool College through an interactive Shakespeare workshop. Led by an accomplished Shakespearean actor, the workshop used film clips to introduce the main story lines of the Shakespeare classic, allowing participants to delve quickly into characters. The day also developed contextual understanding of the historical and cultural period in which it was written. The session ended with a focus on language, using activities to understand its imagery and wordplay. This was an engaging introduction to the Bard and will help prepare the Year 8 students to tackle the Shakespearean topic this year with confidence and enthusiasm.
