The scene cards have been organised so that this task can be a two-lesson activity or a one-lesson activity: As a two-lesson activity, students arrange the scenes of the first two acts after they finish reading Act II, then arrange the remaining scenes in another lesson once they have finished reading the play. As a single-lesson activity, students arrange the scenes of the entire play at once (after reading the play in its entirety). Several different levels of challenge are provided; simply select and print the level that suits your students.
