To be or not to be?

In which we learn that...

Maybe Hamlet isn't in love with Ophelia after all. Spies are hiding behind every curtain, Polonius is finally wrong about something. The play is ready to be performed and there are surprises in store for Gertrude, Claudius and Polonius...

Welcome to Act iii. Below are plans for literacy, reading comprehension, grammar and punctuation, maths and games. Each subject/activity is related to this act of the play. The literacy PDFs are a whole week (5 days) of fully resourced lessons.
