Topics for Further Study
- If you relocated from one town, state, or country to another at a young age, compose an essay detailing your experience. Discuss the biggest challenges you faced, how you adapted, any significant lifestyle changes you implemented, and your current feelings about the move.
- Many of Shakespeare's plays are rich with British historical context. Choose a Shakespeare play that involves England and Scotland, and select a short excerpt to perform for the class. Aim to pick a part that effectively illustrates the relationship between the two countries, whether it is amicable or strained.
- Prime Minister Tony Blair is facing difficulties in maintaining a positive image as the leader of Great Britain. Imagine you are Blair and deliver a speech to your class explaining how your policies and international engagement are advantageous to the British people in general, and particularly to the Scots, who are advocating for increased autonomy.
- Create a poem from the viewpoint of a speaker who has been compelled to move to a place with a culture that is vastly different from their own. You could be a Chinese individual moving to Brazil, an American relocating to Pakistan, a Nigerian settling in Canada, or anyone transitioning to a new and unfamiliar environment anywhere in the world.
