A quote revision game for Macbeth and A Christmas Carol containing 98 quote prompts (49 for Macbeth and 49 for A Christmas Carol). The competitive and collaborative nature of the task means students find it highly engaging.
Can be used with 1 or 2 dice.
It is currently in A4 but I recommend enlarging it to A3.
In order to advance the number decided by the dice, the student must think of a relevant quotation that matches the prompt.
For example:
The prompt might be: A quote about Macbeth’s masculinity.
The answer could be: ‘I dare do all that may become a man’.
A grade 9 response about the theme of ambition.
This is one of a number of high level Macbeth responses that can be purchased in a bundle from here:
