Lady Macbeth Shakespeare Unit of Work

Lady Macbeth Shakespeare Unit of Work | With Resources

This Lady of Macbeth unit of work can be taught as a unit on its own or integrated into a larger unit on the whole play.

It has been designed to introduce learners to Shakespearean language in a less threatening way by focusing on two key scenes. Both scenes revolve around Lady Macbeth, and the unit comprises a character study.

A range of reading skills are developed throughout the unit, resulting in a detailed analysis and comparison of Lady Macbeth’s character between the start and end of the play.

This pack is ideal for non-specialists as teacher notes/answers are included for key tasks. This resource has been used with 13-14 year old pupils as an introduction to studying Shakespeare but could also support teaching of the play for 15-16 year olds.

This resource includes:

• a two page teaching & learning overview, that can be taught as a standalone unit or integrated into a larger unit on the play
• a 38 slide PowerPoint that covers all aspects of the T&L overview, including differentiated versions of language analysis grids that can be given to pupils of differing abilities
• an additional 19 pages of resources, for pupils and staff, including annotated copies of the extracts

Teaching time is based on 3 weekly lessons of 50 minutes - 1 hour.
