Macbeth model answers - betrayal

Three answers that show different levels of the mark scheme, for the theme of betrayal. I have asked students to read all three, highlight the sections that are analytical and explain what makes 2, better than 1 and what makes response 3, better than 2. There is a bronze, silver, gold task and PYT for challenge. I have also demonstrated that the theme questions should be explored in an evaluative way, as done in response 3, where the answer explores the type of betrayal too.
