Macbeth how to stucture exam responses

Resources aimed at guiding students on how to structure exam resonses. Contains 4 partially completed exam responses for students to complete.

There are 2 versions.
The easier version includes the recommendation quotations and students add the inferences.
The harder version requires students to select the quotations themselves before adding the inferences.

Students can use the included top 100 quotation sheet to help them complete the harder version.

The 4 topics are as follows:
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s marriage
Banquo
Macbeth’s fears
Violence

Also contains a guide on how to write a thesis-style introduction using a simple easy to imitate 3 part formula.

‘A thesis-style introduction that demonstrates your understanding of the question can be a really helpful way of starting your answer. It shows that you are ‘in charge’ of your essay and that you know what you think. It can provide a strong foundation for the rest of the essay. Keep referring back to the introduction to create a coherent response.’ AQA examiner’s report 2022

Creating a thesis-style introduction is a challenge for many students but is essential in helping students to reach levels 4-6 in the mark scheme. I have produced a simple 3 point structure to help students quickly generate a thesis statement in timed exam conditions. There is an example of the 3 point structure being used and then students attempt to imitate the structure for 4 other exam-style questions.
