Akala - Hip-Hop & Shakespeare?
You will love this. If you ever wanted to turn kids onto Shakespeare this is it. It covers relevance and rhythm in Shakespeare. Hand on my heart.
You've got to love the title. When you have some up tight students this title alone makes everyone more chilled. Take a look at the Sheer Idiocy Games - short sharp and great ideas. Students can engage with these folk on Facebook.
Shakespeare Online
Comprehensive look at Shakespeare
His plays, sonnets, characters, the theatres, dates and timelines, a veritable cornucopia of Shakespearian information.
The site even provides you with quizzes to test your knowledge. This is not the flashest site one about - could do with an visual upgrade but the content is great.
