MACBETH Act 4 sc i Apparitions and Equivocation for AQA new spec

Lesson focuses on Act 3 sc. v and Act 4 sc. i introducing the characters of Hecate and the Apparitions and their link to the key theme of Equivocation in the play.
This was an observation lesson and resources were praised as Outstanding, so there is differentiation throughout to challenge the more able in my mixed ability group.
There is quite a lot of content so I have included my lesson plan but there is scope to adapt it to your own teaching style; more time could be spent looking at Act 3 sc. v and expanding on AO2 ideas in the Hecate’s soliloquy activity so some teachers may choose to spread this over two lessons if you have the time.
Some teachers may also choose to revisit the A3 sheet after reading Act 5 depending on how much of an overview your students already have of the play’s ending.
