Your Much Ado tasks are listed below
Remember that you should be spending at least an hour on your homework each week - anything looking less than that will be accepted as no homework!
Your homework day is Wednesday - either bring in your homework and stick it into your book or post it as a comment to this post.
1) rewrite the story as a poem or a newspaper article
2) watch another version of the play
3) write a character profile of your favourite character
4) research the port of Messina in Sicily (where the play is set) – what was life like there in the 1600s?
5) how is deception used to move the plot along? Write a short analysis
6) what is the relevance of the title? Do you think it is a good one? Should it have been called something else?
7) write a review of the film version that we watched in class
8) get hold of a copy of the play and read it
9) how do the portrayals of Beatrice and Hero show Shakespearian views of women?
10) create a new bookcover which depicts the ideas in the play
