<p>In Lesson 3, titled 'Shakespeare on YouTube', students are tasked with delving into the life and times of William Shakespeare through an engaging medium – a YouTube clip. The task requires students to watch a short video, which is only a few minutes in length, necessitating full attention and concentration. They are advised to be prepared to jot down key facts and details about Shakespeare's personal and private life that are mentioned in the clip.</p>

<p>The exercise is designed to sharpen the students' note-taking skills as they will only have one opportunity to view the clip, making it essential for them to be alert and vigilant throughout the presentation. They are encouraged to work quickly and efficiently, ensuring that they capture any interesting or unusual events that are highlighted. This focused activity aims to provide students with a snapshot of Shakespeare's life, while also testing their ability to pick up and record information accurately under time constraints.</p>
