Quick Overview

A brand new teaching folder to help you teach Euripides' play for the new WJEC/Eduqas 2016 specification, Component 3. NOW IN STOCK!


If you're teaching The Trojan Women for WJEC/Eduqas' Component 3 this folder's for you!

This teaching folder will provide you with a wealth of teaching ideas and resources to teach the entire play, from both a practical and theory-based perspective. Whether you want to dip in out of the folder, or follow it as a complete scheme, this will save you hours of planning.

All teaching ideas and resources focus upon how to use theatrical conventions to realise ideas from the page to the stage.

The folder will provide you with a comprehensive range of resources to help teach this entire play, scene by scene, from both a practical perspective (during rehearsal workshops) and also a theoretical perspective, considering how a performance can reflect the play's context, political culture and Euripides' idea and themes.

The teaching ideas and resources focus upon a broad range of performance considerations and will allow you teach students about topics such as: the social, historical and cultural context of the play, Euripides' intentions and messages, the typical characteristics of Greek tragedy, the theme of war and the influences of this for a performer, director and designer (and contemporary staging practicalities), character interpretation, the actor/audience relationship through characters, characterisation and functions of the key roles, staging themes and many, many more.

The folder's teaching ideas and student handouts will enable you to cover a variety of aspects such as the Greek myths and legends that inspired this play, Euripides' intentions when depicting gods such as Poseidon, how it would have been originally staged, tackling themes such as the theme of justice, how to approach major roles such as Hecuba and her archetypal traits, staging the Choral parts both in Euripides' day and for a contemporary audience, exploring the role of minor characters such as Talthybius and different interpretations of this man and how he should interact with the females, considering the different interpretations of Cassandra and comparing her to other females such as Helen, Hecuba or Andromache, as well as many more aspects.

Students will be able to apply all of this knowledge and theory when approaching their exam questions.
