Platform:

Age Range: 12 to 18
Key Stage: KS3, 4 & 5
Formats Available:

Kar2ouche Much Ado About Nothing allows students to read between the lines of Shakespeare's comedy of mistaken identity and plot twists, and develop their own interpretations.

There are innumerable ways to interpret and retell the story.

There are many suggested activities provided in the software, including:

Barebones Much Ado - students create a summary of the narrative, incorporating key quotations and creating memorable visuals to accompany their notes
Class production - pairs of students are asked to capture the main action in a single scene
What happens when? - students open an out-of-sequence summary of the play and arrange the frames in the correct order
Finishing off - students have to complete a partially prepared storyboard comprising some quotations, some modern English summaries and a selection of images, by choosing a style of interpretation and filling in the gaps
