Much Ado About Nothing

SATS are fast approaching, and one of the biggest concerns for pupils is the Shakespeare Paper. Y8s and Y9s are studying Much Ado About Nothing this year, so I thought I would collate a few sites that might be worth a look.
Firstly, the 2 key scenes- the first one is from Act 4 Scene 1 and covers lines 196-325.
You can find it here, at the BBC bitesize website.
The second key comes at the very end of the play, Act 5 Scene 4 (the whole scene). You can find it here, on the previous site.

The Bitesize site also contains an excellent summary of the play.

If you find it helpful to listen to information when you revise, you may like these podcasts. They contain actors from the Globe Theatre's production of Much Ado discussing how the character feel and act in the key scenes. You can download them as MP3 files or listen to them on the site.

The SparkNotes sites has some good summaries and discussions of key themes and ideas in the play.

Finally, set your video/sky+/other gizmo to record the revision programme on Much Ado on the 13 March, 4am-6am on BBC2.
