William Shakespeare tragic tale of misplaced ambition, betrayal and murder is brought to life in this dynamic PowerPoint lesson that covers Act 1 Scenes 1, 2 and 3.

This 23 slide lesson provides approximately 2-3 hours of classroom teaching time and includes a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, a glossary of terms slide, an academic writing task, a theme tracking slide, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary All the time-consuming work has been completed for you, no further work is required.
