Good activities/ writing prompts for teaching TEMPEST
It would be cool to have a copy for each student in class! But this was a good teacher resource for me-- excellent teaching activities and writing prompts for my 9th grade honors English students as we read and acted THE TEMPEST.

Highly recommended!
The Cambridge School Shakespeare editions are extremely well presented and highly accessible, with Shakespeare's text printed on every right-hand page and a corresponding glossary of the unusual words on the left, along with a running synopsis and all kinds of extra activities to get students thinking about the play in more depth. If only we'd had these attractive editions when I had to learn Shakespeare at school back in the 60s!

Super bien détaillé
Je l'ai acheté pour un cours de littérature anglaise et étais très contente de ma version. Sur chaque double page il y a d'un côté le texte et de l'autre une analyse sur un des sujet principaux de l'extrait. Il est parfait pour les étudiants qui veulent travailler en plus ou tout seul. Tout est super bien détaillé et c'est parfait pour en tirer des sujets d'essai ! Je recommande

The Tempest Cambridge edition
A great book to stage the given play. As a read, it has basic annotations but not all. The paper quality and print is also good.

Not the coloured version- notes are in black and white
The internals are in black and white not in colour

Great for revision
Great for school, the play is always on the left hand page and notes about that section are always on the right, easy to revise from, also easy to make your own notes with pencil if you wish
