Tudor propaganda! That's what the skeptics say about Shakespeare's Richard III. Look for yourself. Propaganda or not, it's high art, as explained by Mr. Pacino in the companion film Looking for Richard.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out a paragraph from the companion Learning Guide to Looking for Richard.
The play Richard III was written during the reign of the Tudor queen, Elizabeth I. It was therefore politically correct to denigrate Richard III, whose defeat had been necessary for the Tudor line to ascend the throne. Historians tell us that Richard III was not a bad king. He promoted domestic reforms and furthered English interests in France. While Richard did usurp the throne, there is no hard evidence that he conspired in the murders of his brother Edward or of his young nephews. His evil has been exaggerated by Tudor historians. Tudor playwrights, including Shakespeare, turned him into the personification of evil.
The Learning Guide to Richard III also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
A subscription to TeachWithMovies.com will give teachers access to 285 Learning Guides from which they can easily create lesson plans. Click here to subscribe. Richard III and Looking for Richard are excellent introductions to Shakespeare and the Wars of the Roses.
