This is an engaging mini scheme of work on Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” This resource includes a completely original, aesthetically themed PowerPoint divided into 4 lessons, each featuring tailored lesson objectives, starter activities, main tasks, and plenaries. However, this can easily be spread into 8 lessons or so; I just happened to have split it into 4 as it was taught with a top set class who had already done some preparation lessons prior to this. The main idea is to decide, through prepared debate, whether Macbeth is to blame for his actions or whether someone else has more responsibility (for instance Lady Macbeth). The Lessons: Lesson 1: Bloody Betrayals Beginning (introduction to SoW and assigning roles) Lesson 2: Dagger of the Mind’s Evidence (collating evidence) Lesson 3: Witches’ Whispers: Witness Warfare (speaking to witnesses) Lesson 4: Tomorrow & Tomorrow’s Verdict (final trial & reflections) Additionally, you’ll receive separate Word documents for a Macbeth psychology report and a Witness Credibility chart, enabling in-depth character analysis and critical thinking. Perfect for bringing the courtroom drama of “Macbeth” to life, this resource is ideal for fostering student engagement and understanding of complex themes.
