SEE POWERPOINT FOR ALL LESSON PLANS A collection of 9-12 lessons (depending on your lesson lengths) focused on The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare. Reading, writing, drama and staging included.

The majority of these resources and lesson plans have been created by me - three or four resources are adapted from other wonderful teachers who have shared their stuff.
