This material is not to be cited. abstract: The ready availability of popular film versions of Shakespeare plays on DVD and other digital formats, coupled with the rapid development in classroom technology over the past decade (Jewitt et al. 2009) have had the potential to radically change the traditional relationship between secondary school students and the printed playtext. Teacher surveys published over the past ten years (see for example, Batho 1998; Martindale 2008; Stibbs 1998) indicate that very nearly every English teacher complements the study of a set Shakespeare text at Key Stage 3 or 41 with reference to a DVD or video adaptation. There is, however, much less empirical evidence about the use to which these moving image versions are commonly put: for instance, how teachers construct the cultural and historical relationship between playtext and adaptation within the classroom, or the way students are positioned as readers of the different textual modes. The purpose of this chapter is to explore some of the pedagogical possibilities raised by use of moving image Shakespeare and to consider some examples of teachers’ practice taken from classroom-based research data. date: 2014-11-20 date_type: published publisher: Bloomsbury Academic official_url: http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/masterclass-in-english-education-9781441129062/ oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1074566 isbn_13: 9781441129062 lyricists_name: Coles, Jane lyricists_id: JECOL08 actors_name: Coles, Jane actors_id: JECOL08 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: MasterClass place_of_pub: London, UK pagerange: 72-83 book_title: MasterClass in English Education: Transforming Teaching and Learning editors_name: Brindley, S editors_name: Marshall, B citation: Coles, J; (2014) Teaching Shakespeare with film adaptations.
