Twelfth Night Picture Collection CD-ROM

Help students to explore intepretation, staging and performance. The characters of Twelfth Night live in a fictitious world of romance, full of magical possibilities, thrilling and exotic, where anything can happen. Themes of Twelfth Night include love, appearance versus reality, acting and theatre, madness and time. Perhaps the subtitle of the play, What You Will, says to the audience: 'make of it what you like, but don't take it too seriously. On-screen questions stimulate discussion and help students to explore interpretation, staging and performance. With over 75 images per disc there are plenty of opportunities to compare and contrast different productions. There are audio recordings of key moments that add to the drama, and students can record their own speeches, as well as a simple toolbar to annotate images with speech and thought bubbles. Students can sequence the images and create their own storyboards. Suitable for whole-class teaching on an interactive whiteboard, or for independent or pair work at a single machine.
