At 1 scene 5 Lady Macbeth's soliloquy - 'the raven himself is hoarse...' analysis

(1)
An a3 worksheet with structured and colour-coded questions to enable students to explore the speech in detail. It allows alternative interpretations and all the questions direct students towards analysing key aspects of a02 / language. Students found it helpful and their understanding of the speech helped them with the extract for their next assessment. They then went on to explore Lady Macbeth in the wider play for the 2nd bullet point on AQA English Lit.

GCSE Revision Shakespeare's methods (A02) Macbeth study of Animal Imagery & body & disease imagery

(3)
Each worksheet comprises of 2 landscape A3 sheets which trace Shakespeare’s imagery throughout the play. It enables students to trace how Shakespeare creates meaning through imagery. My students struggled initially with incorporating their interpretation of method into assessed responses and since using these they are able to follow themes more confidently and can explore Shakespeare’s craft much more successfully. ' I created a set of 4: body and disease, bird and animal, clothing and light and darkness. I’ve used them mostly with higher ability students but they easily be edited for differentiation by deleting some of the higher order considerations. This resource contains 2 of the imagery investigations: animal/bird and body and disease.

Observation pro-forma for observing and developing exceptional teachers

(0)
In the drive to develop staff and make them more evaluative this is an observation form with key progress indicators which exceptional practitioners often show. It is designed to help practitioners isolate key aspects of their classroom craft and develop these in an incremental and supportive way. It is to help staff move from good to great and also to help those who are unclear what constitutes exceptional practice day in, day out. One of its key strengths is to help observers give constructive and useful feedback focused on the skills that make a significant difference to the learners’ experiences.
