Macbeth, Act One - Picture Book

This is an invaluable resource for SEN students who are studying Macbeth for GCSE English Literature.

Using techniques aimed at students with speech and language issues, the picture book provides prompts for students to engage with the text.

The pictures capture the visual and symbolic elements of the play and can be used to discuss key themes and language presented in Act One of the GCSE text.

Each picture is imaginative and visually striking which will engage students who struggle with Shakespearean language and do not enjoy the play. The pictures are accompanied with a caption aimed to scaffold their response to the play and lead them to using more literary and academic language.

At the end of the picture section, there are some ideas how to use questions to gain more understanding and how to develop language.

This resource is ideal for students with additional needs such as dyslexia, ADHD and AS. It can be used as a way to begin a lesson or to support students who require small group or individual support. SENCOs, Teaching Assistants and teachers who support students with additional needs will benefit from the resource. It will help them succeed in responding to Macbeth and improve their performance in the English Literature, GCSE exam.
