A TREASURE HUNT - THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL

Some months ago, I prepared a treasure hunt called The Other Boleyn Girl. It is thought to work with 2nd cycle of ESO. I read with my students of 3rd ESO Henry VIII and HIs Six Wives. To introduce the story, we had previously watched The Other Boleyn Girl, about the life of Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary, lover from the king before her sister. It is a good warm-up to explain a bit of culture and history, and work the topics we can work later in the book in a pleasant way. I have structured the treasure hunt in the following way: First, I have asked about the sisters; secondly, asking about the king's wives and their heirs and finally, they have to look for information about the life in King Henry VIII's reign. This is the big question: to imagine themselves living there just for one day.

A sonnet by William Shakespeare

SONNET 33

Let me confess that we two must be twain,
Although our undivided loves are one:
So shall those blots that do with me remain,
Without thy help, me be borne alone.


In our two loves there is but one respect, 5
Though in our lives a separable spite,
Which though it alter noy love's sole effect,
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.


I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, 10
Nor thou with public kindness honour me,
Unless thou take that honour from thy name:


But do not so, I love thee in such sort,
As thou being mine, mine is thy good report.



A poem by one of the greatest playwrights in English language. He also wrote superb sonnets. There are a few old English words. If you want to, you can read a Spanish translation in the Cervantes Library.
