  Descripció
Seminaris Much of the course will be dedicated to reading texts. I shall be giving power-point presentations in lecture form to discuss the texts.
Presentacions / exposicions Part of the course assessment will be on group presentations of texts & contexts. The class will be divided into small groups and each group will work together on a subject of their choice. The dates of the presentations will be programmed at the beginning of the course.
Activitats Introductòries The first few classes will be based on an overview of Shakespeare and his work through a power-point presentation of visual documents
Treballs There will be two written assignments during the course. The first will be a personal summary of the class presentation (deadline: one week after the presentation) and the second will be a final class essay - based on the whole module. The essay must follow the established guidelines (in your dossier).
Please DO NOT PLAGIARISE! If you do, your assignment will not be valid for grading.
Sessió Magistral The lecture-type classes will be based on the introduction and application of theoretical interpretations of Shakespeare's plays.
