I have collated what I consider to be the most important 80+ quotations onto one document. There are lots of ways students and teachers can use this resource.
One is to pick a certain number to really focus on and build on developing inferences for them in the same way as the two examples I have provided.
Students may also want to find different ways of grouping the quotations together such as by different themes to help prepare for any question that might come up in the exam.
I have also included a version with key words missing so students can add the key word. This works well as a starter.
Also contains a random generator powerpoint that works well as a bell activity.

The 100 most important quotations from Macbeth, in my opinion, placed onto one A3 sheet to assist with revision. Each quotation has a brief explanation of its importance in the text.
There are lots of ways you can use this in lesson/to revise.
OPTION 1: Create a code for themes e.g. a for ambition, g for guilt, k for kingship, d for deception, s for supernatural. Apply the code to link each quotation to one or more themes.
OPTION 2: Ask students to add to each quotation explanation by adding deeper inferences, comments on the impact of language and the wider symbolic significance of each quotation in helping to communicate Shakespeare’s message.
OPTION 3: Give students a range of exam questions and ask students to pick 5 quotations they would use to answer each question.
OPTION 4: Find pairs of contrasting quotations and explain the contrast to show you can explain how a character or theme develops and changes across the novel.
Also contains a top 30 quotation lesson and resource (76 slides) aimed at lower ability students.
Updated sheet has meanings, methods and message explored for 100 quotations.
