Sixth Form Conferences

Whether you are just beginning work on your Shakespeare set-text or returning to it for revision, our 'Catch-up' conferences will bring expert voices and students' questions from around the country into your classroom, inspiring lively discussion and debate.

Join us online for one of the following 'Catch-ups' on your set-text.

All sessions will run from 2.00 - 3.00pm.

Monday 22 April - Othello

Friday 26 April - Hamlet

Thursday 2 May - Othello

Thursday 9 May - Hamlet

Tuesday 21 May - Othello

Thursday 23 May - Othello

Tuesday 4 June - Hamlet

Wednesday 12 June - Othello

The 'Catch-up' conference (for classes or individual students) includes:

• One 45 minute pre-recorded illustrated talk on your set-text, exploring cultural, literary and theatrical contexts, with a focus on how literary and dramatic devices shape meaning.
• Some 15 minute videos featuring analysis of individual extracts from your set-text, drawing on a variety of different interpretations.
• Transcripts of the extract analysis videos to keep as revision notes after the event.
• A 60 minute live discussion with experts featured in the pre-recorded materials answering student questions.
• A range of expert and peer voices helping students to develop their own thinking.

Pre-recorded materials will be released one week in advance of the live session to allow students to digest and respond to the material in their own time.

The live Q&A panel discussion will be accessible via YouTube. In the interests of safeguarding, students will not be seen or heard, but will be able to pose questions and read and follow other students' responses via the 'chat' function.

Questions can be submitted in advance or during the live session.

These sessions have been devised to suit classes following AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and IB specifications.

Price: £10 per student
