I will be able to start research effectively
as I will already have initial understanding
of the topics
Achievability
There is endless arguments to discuss about the works of
Shakespeare and definitely holds enough significance. Also
Shakespeare is performed all across the world therefore I can
discuss the significance in various cultures and countries which
could make the piece more broad or specific.
Personal interests
I have lot of interest in drama and production and also in
Shakespeare and the history of himself and his plays
I don't want to get stuck analysing the language and english,
want to focus more on performance.
Help available
There are various drama, literature and historical references to
Shakespeare. Also new playwrights and actors and directors opinions on the
advantages and disadvantages of the relevance of Shakespeare
Your motivation
This will be helpful later on as
I would maybe like to study
drama further after A Levels.
Only really relates to one of my chosen subjects but might make
me realise English is something I am interested in more. Does not
involve any art studies.
Ease of finding
information
Many historical accounts of Shakespeare from his era. Also
lots of previous discussions about Shakespeare from writers
and playrights.
Current coursework
We studied Romeo and Juliet at GCSE but as long as I do not only focus on
that play or avoid it all together then that is fine. Previous analysis of
Shakespeare at GCSE might help.
Ethics
Is your project ‘ethical’?
I can discuss the sexism. racism, prejudice displayed within Shakespeare and discuss the
negative impacts they have on society nowadays compared to during their age. Also can
discuss in which cultures and classes Shakespeare is most relevant.
Current knowledge
I studied Shakespeare in English
GCSE and also did GCSE drama
