Webinar on teaching 'King Lear'
On Wednesday 16th October 2024 I’ll be giving a free webinar via Tralee Education Support Centre for teachers of King Lear in the Leaving Certificate. This follows similar webinars on Macbeth and on Hamlet.
I plan to:
Outline effective ways to revise King Lear in class in the final months before the Leaving Certificate exam and suggest how students can use strategies to exercise their own critical thinking.
Provide practical strategies for students' independent work.
Look at the particular challenges of this play as a single text.
Suggest online and reading resources to widen teachers' own knowledge of the text.
