Good idea...
I agree, this is an original scheme. What about the extracts from the Tempest? I suppose I could get them online? I too love 'Spirited Away'!

Although an interesting concept for literary/film study, this lesson plan has limited application for the required elements of lesson planning in the context of U.S. schools. It is an overview of essential questions and activities for a few weeks without specific strategies for differentiation, academic vocabulary, or student self-assessment.

Thanks for this, it is a very original and exciting way of accessing Shakespeare and I love the film 'Spirited Away' - linking this with 'the Tempest' is inspired! Great to see something really different!
