  1. Hello John,

    This is an excellent first draft – I’m really pleased.

    Your characters are clear, but I think increasing the use of stage directions will help to give us a sense of which characters are on each side. Look at the script to see how Shakespeare has done this.

    Targets:
    1) Always re-read and edit sentence length/structure – where would those full stops go? Why?
    2) Remember to include re-write some of Shakespeare’s imagery. Look at the sheet I gave you to help with this.
