William Shakespeare can easily be classified as the most significant person in effecting the modern English language. Over 1,700 words can be linked back to his works and many popular phrases today were first used by him such as: “Break the ice”, “Wild-goose chase” and “Heart of gold”.
In celebration of England’s Bard and his timeless classics the 24-30 March 2025 is Shakespeare week. What a perfect time to introduce your students to his works, and to link many popular films today to his work. After all the Lion King follows a very similar story to Hamlet (but made safe for children!)
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has a huge database of lesson resources which can be accessed for all age groups to learn about the timeless legend which is William Shakespeare.
