Female characters in Othello
In this interactive Shakespeare lesson Othello takes design cues from near future dystopian movies and video games. Othello brought right up to date for the 21st century—no ruffs and stockings and quill pens here—the language and power of the play brought to life with animations and AI. Among the quiz slides and mind maps, you’ll find a ‘digital roleplay’: a chance for every student to dive into an interactive Shakespeare lesson.
Inspire learners with creative writing
Get your learners writing with lessons on writing reviews, autobiographical writing, travel writing, dramatic monologues and short narrative fiction. You’ll find a wide range of activities including writing randomisers to banish writer’s block, and ways to encourage peer review and reflection.
Teach carefully structured lessons with engaging images that progressively increase the challenge with each slide. Help your students practice drafting and redrafting—without them even realising it! Get them writing individually and in groups, inspired by videos and visuals. Built-in assessment for learning ensures both you and your students get the most out of every session.

Take terminology onto the smart board
One of the biggest challenges in teaching English is making a vast range of terminology stick. Here at LessonUp we have a range of interactive terminology lessons that make metaphors memorable, poetic terms permanent and revision remarkable!
Breaking down the mental barrier to studying poetry can be tough. Our interactive poetry lesson helps secondary & A Level students approach poetry with confidence. It starts with the relatable, meme-friendly Michael Rosen and then guides learners through the challenge of Poe’s 'The Raven' using videos, clickable buttons, quizzes and drag-and-drop activities.
