Did Shakespeare have Post-It notes?

Well. Today I had some very exciting news. I cannot possibly say more just yet, but I will keep y'all informed via the magic of the interwebs.

Had a lovely session on teaching Shakespeare today, using some things I'd never have thought about. I particularly enjoyed a post-it note task where different colours represented different things: green was what do I want to do next, pink was what do I want to say next, and orange was what do I think. After reading a conversation between Capulet and Juliet, where she refuses to marry Paris and - to be honest - Capulet isn't massively happy about what his daughter's telling him, we had to write Juliet's thoughts, feelings and what she wanted to or should say next. After swapping with another table, we had to jumble them up and make some kind of soliloquy with them, regardless of whether they were an action/quote/thought. It was very good and hands-on, something I definitely liked doing and want to try.

That is my teachery thought for the day.
