5. Henry

This play is part of a series of educational editions of the most popular Shakespeare plays studied and taught in secondary schools. The series provides a balanced approach to Shakespeare through the combination of close textual analysis and drama activities. Each text is suitable for all secondary level study up to GCSE/Standard Grade. There are two sets of differentiated activities at the end of each act, covering GCSE/Standard Grade and Key Stage 3/5-14 English. The activities on the page develop student understanding of the play and its themes, characters, plots and imagery. Some activities focus specifically on language and help students gain a real understanding of the play and its language. To help understanding of the play as a whole, there are summative activities at the end of the text which offer a complete overview of the play.
