Freshen up your classroom in the back to school season today with these ready to print posters!
Each poster includes a quote from the play with the act/scene/line number, character that speaks the line, the relevant theme and a simple symbol to trigger memory. They are also color coded according to the theme and all posters come in a high quality A2 image which can be reduced to A4.
These Macbeth quote classroom posters are perfect for those who want revision or to help their students memorise quotes.
These posters can be used to initiate class discussions, revision, essay ideas, paragraph writing or just as classroom decoration.
I personally have been looking for posters that:
Reflect the key themes of the quotes and play
Aren’t too chaotic and are easy to read
Are consistent with my personal, minimalistic style.
I couldn’t really find any, so I decided to make my own and why not share them?
Offered as a PDF for Print.

And then is heard no more.
