Much Ado's Plot in 60 Seconds
Shakespeare's plays can get crazy confusing. The plot for Much Ado About Nothing is slightly less complicated than, say, A Midsummer Night's Dream, but it's easy for students to get lost in who's betraying whom, who's pretending to be whom, and who's falling in love with whom. This little summary video from 60secondrecap.com distills the plot of the play into one bite-size minute. Don't make this clip your only resource for teaching the plot, as the re-capper is a fast talker, but seeing and hearing the plot explained can definitely clear up a few things for the visual and auditory learners in your class.
