WACE Year 11-12 English courses typically include a Shakespeare play for detailed textual analysis. Many students find language barriers and historical distance challenging. Strategic teaching builds confidence and analytical skills.
WACE requirement: Students analyse prescribed texts including drama, demonstrating understanding of literary techniques and thematic complexity.
Pro tip: Don't start with full text. Begin with famous soliloquies or scenes, build understanding, then tackle full play. Students feel confident rather than overwhelmed.
