These learning materials do not require the teacher or learner to have read William Shakespeare's Henry V or to have seen the National Theatre production.

Each activity comprises several short tasks and a selection of video clips focusing on the Shakespeare's use of the language of persuasion in Henry V.

The materials are available in downloadable PDF or in word files that you can tailor to your own requirements. The activities can be used singly, following the lesson introduction, or as part of a more developed unit on the adaptation of texts.
