<ul> <strong><i> Children LOVE the 'What on Earth?' format </strong>and this is a book that I have used in class frequently. Children who claim to have no interest in Shakespeare are drawn in and can't help but ask questions about what they see and read. It is an excellent starting point for further work! One thing I really like about using it in class in how many children can be involved at one time, leading to lots of smaller discussions that can be fed back to everyone. This book is a valuable resource for history - life in Elizabethan (early Stuart!) times, history of the theatre, costume, buildings, etc. - and literacy- the plays, language, etymology etc. However, although the subject matter here is mainly history/ literacy, children can learn a lot about presenting information in different formats, evaluating its success and then applying this in contexts across the curriculum. </i> EMILY BEALE - NORTH SOMERSET TEACHERS' BOOK AWARDS REVIEW</ul>
