So, to #Shakespeare and the #MondayModel. As ever:

Before smart phones arrived, how long was your attention span?

And … we’re up to number 17 in the #MondayModel series. If this is the first you’ve seen, where on earth have you been?

FUN FACT: Act 1, scene 2 of ‘The Tempest’ is the longest scene in any of Shakespeare’s plays. Uncut, it’ll take

As ever:
Slide 1 - an icon which

Love at first sight? No such thing!

This doesn’t stop Miranda in this week's #MondayModel. With the exams over, I wanted to move away from 'Hamlet' and into some other plays I've taught over the years.

'The Tempest' is a rarity, inasmuch as you can study it at GCSE AND A-Level in the UK. Every

A few pointers for students wondering what they can ‘swipe’ from

No. 8 in the #MondayModel series focuses on Othello for a simple reason: I’ve a new student who’s studying it! If you want the play you/your child is studying to feature in next week’s, just let me know …

THIS WEEK: Othello’s

Today’s #MondayModel answer is number 7, but the 4th consecutive on Hamlet (it’s what most of my A-Level tutees are studying). If you want the play you/your child is studying to feature in next week’s, just let me know …

THIS WEEK: Hamlet’s ‘get thee to a nunnery’ rant

Today’s #MondayModel answer is number 6, but the third consecutive on Hamlet, which is what most of my A-Level tutees are studying. If you want the play you/your child is studying to feature in next week’s, just let me know …
