Is Caliban a monster or misunderstood? Are Romeo and Juliet good role models?
Debating is a great way to help students to gain confidence in their own oracy, deepen their knowledge of texts, improve their critical thinking skills, develop structured and compelling arguments, compare and evaluate different perspectives, and improve their listening skills. Following our partnership with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust for Shakespeare Week, we developed our Debating Shakespeare workshops. Workshops we have delivered include:
Tell us your Shakespeare play (or indeed any other literary text) and we will put together a workshop for your pupils at Key Stage 3, 4 or post 16.

Our Oracy Toolkit training is designed as a practical session to give teachers the confidence and skills to use more high-quality talk in the classroom.
Debating is a structured activity with a perfect blend of speaking, listening and thinking.
Not for drama teachers! This CPD looks at how all teachers can use drama-based ideas to engage their students with all curriculum areas.
