Interview William Shakespeare
Type questions to the character to find out about him and the world he lived in.
Discussion points
- Which of your plays are you most famous for?
- Who is your favourite character from your plays and why? What do they represent?
- Which play genre is your favourite to write or watch?
- What was it like living in England during the Elizabethan era?
Teaching tips:
Use this activity to learn about Shakespeare, by speaking to William himself! Ask him about his writing, his plays, or life during the Elizabethan era.
Children could interview Shakespeare to answer their research questions and gather information before completing Write about William Shakespeare, Write about the Globe Theatre, or Famous people of Tudor times.
Disclaimer: The responses in this activity are generated using A.I. Our character knows exactly who they are, and that they are talking to children. However, with this new technology, the responses will not always be perfect! To reassure yourself, please try the activity before allowing children on it.
