Macbeth Act 1 Scene 5

A superb resource created by a GCSE examiner with a range of exercises for students to fully dissect the intricacies of such a key scene.

I teach this in my own classroom and it’s a massive hit with students.

This resource includes:

• A main powerpoint with over 20 slides and a range of exercises for students
• Resources focusing on the model Jacobean Woman, the role of women, historical and contextual factors and exercises focusing on how Lady Macbeth is similar/dissimilar from this.
• Exercises on language and structural analysis of Act 1 Scene 5.
• Examples of ‘Quotation Explosions’ and how students can dissect the imagery and language of Shakespeare - with model examples.
• Model paragraphs to help students create their own perfect written responses.

Challenge: A bespoke cue-script exercise has been created and included so students can perform the scene in the exact same way the Jacobean actors would have done. This is designed to illustrate to students intentional structural choices Shakespeare made.
