A resource focusing on Act 2 Scene 1 of Much Ado About Nothing.

Before reading the scene pair students up and give them elements from the masked ball which they should mime to each other using actions and gestures. 

Then, once they have read the scene, students should complete the tasks which include a set of questions about the use of masks in Shakespeare plays and dramatic irony within this scene.
