<p>A 63 slide power point containing 31 Low Stakes Quizzes about Macbeth. Each slide has 5 questions about Macbeth plus 2 questions about A Christmas Carol. The following slide contains the answers. The questions are tracked in order of studying the play, with newer questions at the start (so numbers 1 and 2) and then other questions being revisited from previous quizzes (so numbers 3-5) then questions 6 and 7 are always on A Christmas Carol. I have used this at the start of every lesson with year 11 and seems to work well with interleaving and recall and retention. Hope you enjoy!</p>
