Have I been avoiding 'Romeo and Juliet’?
Not consciously. I don’t hate the play at all, but I DO dislike all the hoo-ha around it which turns it into something it's not.
Still, I've been asked for a couple of #MondayModel answers on the play, so here goes!
As ever:
Slide 1 - an icon which
Who’s seen ‘So I Married an Axe Murderer’ (1993) … ?

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
Love at first sight? No such thing!

'The Tempest' is a rarity, inasmuch as you can study it at GCSE AND A-Level in the UK. Every
Everyone has their breaking point!
Perhaps it's the excitement of watching Claudius react to 'the-play-within-the-play'. Perhaps he's distracted. In this week's #MondayModel, Hamlet finally seems to lose his rag with his two old friends.

This week’s #MondayModel shouldn’t need an icon to help students remember, but you never know. What should be useful is the closest analysis of the quotation I can do in under 150 words, and - a new addition
I got some really valuable feedback from a student last week, so this week’s #MondayModel is another close-reading of a useful line from Othello, this time with the addition of some annotation of the metre (as I read the line: YMMV).
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 …
