The Merchant of Venice- an approach for Junior Cycle English

A unit of learning that explores how a selection of learning outcomes* can be brought to life through a range of learning experiences as students engage with William Shakespeare's play, The Merchant of Venice. The resource pack illustrates how learning experiences can deepen and consolidate learning outcomes through key moments in The Merchant of Venice, whilst also making links and connections from this learning to other text forms. It incorporates extended writing opportunities that emerge, allowing students to develop the Collection of Student's Texts, CBA 2, and learning for the final state examination. *Learning Outcomes in Focus: OL8, OL12, R6, R8, R9, W3, W4, W7, W8
