Practical Activities To Help Students Understand King Lear
This Shakespeare Made Easy Activity Guide for King Lear is designed by teachers for teachers to help students navigate the complexity of the text.
This study guide for King Lear is broken into six sections of four activities and one review.
At the end of this guide is a final test, a variety of culminating activities, and an answer key.
The activities are designed

- to provide creative opportunities for the reader to make personal connections with the text
- to help busy teachers gain quick access to classroom-tested and age-appropriate activities that make the teaching of Shakespeare an easier task.
Each regular activity, as well as each culminating activity, can be modified to be an individual or a group task.
The reviews and test can be used as quick comprehension checks or formally scored assessments.
