Caliban's Revenge Plan in The Tempest
A 7th-grade slide deck on Act 3, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's The Tempest, built for ELD levels 1-3 students. It develops literary analysis and academic vocabulary (plot, tyrant, revenge, monster, cunning) through guided sentence frames like "I think ___ because ___," and the gradual-release structure moves students from teacher modeling to independent evidence-based claims about how Caliban changes from Act 1 to Act 3.
“A slide deck to teach Act 3 Scene 2 of the Tempest to ELD levels 1-3 students”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 45-minute whole-class lesson, pausing after each slide to model the sentence frames aloud before asking students to try them with a partner.
- Discussion question: What does Caliban's plan reveal about how his treatment by Prospero has shaped his character, and what evidence from the scene supports your answer?
- Scaffold for newcomers: Pre-teach the five vocabulary words with pictures or gestures, and provide a word bank so students can respond using the key frames even if full sentences are difficult.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to compare Caliban's shift in Act 3 with Ariel's loyalty to Prospero and write a short paragraph using at least two pieces of textual evidence.
- Estimated time: about 45 minutes for the full deck, with an additional 10 minutes if you add the optional partner discussion.
