To support teachers and students in the 2008 Key Stage 3 English test, we've created teachers resources
and study aids that cover the set sections of:
- Much Ado About Nothing
- The Tempest
- Richard III
The sections themselves are brought to life in comic-book form, using our 3-text-level system of:
- Original Text - The full Shakespeare script for the set sections
- Plain Text - The set sections translated into plain English
- Quick Text - With reduced dialogue for rapid, easier reading
- No-Text - With empty speech balloons for you to fill in the
dialogue
Each document puts the set sections into the context of the whole play.
In addition to the coverage of the set sections, we've also created teachers resources that include lesson plans and
general activities to really get children involved in these texts.
And if THAT wasn't enough, we've made them FREE TO DOWNLOAD !!
We're so committed to the appreciation of Shakespeare and so proud of these
resources that we didn't want a silly thing like "budget" to get in the
way of education! We simply want to make a difference and allow anyone and
everyone to enjoy the experience that is William Shakespeare...
- The illustrations help get the dialogue and action across to disaffected students
- Resources offer ready-made lesson plans and activities
- Set sections available in three text versions allow
inclusive teaching for a class of mixed abilities
- Students can start with the Quick Text and work up to the Original Text version
- Have students colour the pages in, or colour-code the speech bubbles
- Have students write in the dialogue over the No-Text version
- Resources are electronic, so can display them on a whiteboard for class study
- Fun for children to study!

- Start with the Quick Text version to get a rapid understanding of the set sections.
Then progress onto the Plain Text version, and on to the Original Text of Shakespeare
- Illustrations make it easier to visualise the characters and the events of the play
- Dialogue is broken down into speech bubbles, making it easier
to remember "who-says-what", aiding retention and understanding

In no way do these downloads replace a study of the full text - but they really help - and for those crucial set sections,
they are an invaluable aid to teachers and students alike!
