These Sketch Notes can be used to help students gain an understanding and overview of what is going on in the first scene of Act I in Shakespeare's Richard III or rather what had happened so far, as several remarks give hints of past events, struggles and relationships. This Character relationship map helps students to locate characters and remember them better. In order to save time and guarantee completeness only the names need to be added in these sketch notes (rather than the relationships and actions).

This material includes the sketch notes worksheet (PDF) as well as the answer sheet (PDF) and some teacher's notes with interesting background (gossip) knowledge to share with your students. Enjoy!
