Use the initial 'Romeo and Juliet' quiz as a pre-test to find out how much your students currently know about the play. The other quizzes cover each act, the main characters, the plot and the main themes.
If you are new to Yacapaca, set just one quiz at a time but enforce a tight deadline. Experience shows this is the best way to get a high response rate (especially if setting for homework), and for your students to achieve the highest marks. |

Fun and formative, these quizzes will consolidate knowledge, reinforce understanding and encourage evaluative skills. The first quiz "Macbeth" is intended as a pre-quiz to give you some insight into how much your students currently know about the play. The other quizzes are grouped thus:
|

|
"...some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them"
Yacapaca caters for them all: challenging and searching questions for those born great, formative feedback encourages them to achieve greatness and great question-writing thrusts greatness upon them when they surpass expectation. Teachers think it's great too: "the students loved it and the assessment data is really useful".

"Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May" and, before you know it, it's exam time. Do your students know their play or do they, like me :-), invariably muddle their quotes. Yacapaca questions reinforce knowledge, promote understanding and encourage evaluative skills. Auto-marked assessments report instantaneously where your students (individually or as a group) are weak so you can focus your teaching in those areas.

Yacapaca is the difference between enthused students raring to 'go Shakespeare' and the "‘T’is neither here nor there" brigade. From small chunk theme-by-theme to diagnostic whole-of-play, all assessments suit a wide range of uses and all offer formative feedback to stretch the brightest students and support the weaker ones.

This is an introductory lesson which will lead to the pupils embedding a photostory presentation simulating a 60 Second Shakespeare play. During this lesson they will produce Excel spreadsheets to capture each student's 60 second estimate.
In this lesson the pupils will become a little familiar with the various technologies. Instant Power-point to Photostory comes next. In the next lesson stessing more of the literacy content they will use 9 pictures and some text to learn how to precis, with a view to producing the narration. |

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt".
Go on, give it a go! Formative feedback lets your students see where they have misunderstood a concept and points them in the right direction (never merely giving the correct answer). Bags of system support for you, the teacher, as and when you need it. What is there to fear?
