The dealer will draw the first card, each team needs to try and guess the calorie count in that food item. The dealer will reveal the answer and whichever team was the closest gets to start. The dealer will then in turn flip each car revealing a new food item. Each team needs to guess whether the calorie count is higher or lower than the previous card. Every correct answer will earn that team a point. The team keep going until they get one wrong and it the switches to the other team. The game finishes when all the cards have been revealed and the team with the most points win. Alternatively you could ask the learner to stand up for higher or sit down for lower!

This 2nd series of flashcards, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted Macbeth as a tragic hero. A tragedy play in Shakespeare’s time begins with qualities in a hero that are admired. The hero is loved and there is an element of celebrity and role model. Then a weakness is highlighted and manipulated to bring down the hero with tragic consequences. However, each quote also has relevance to other themes. The purpose of memorising the quotes is to aid a deeper knowledge of the play so that when answering a question the student can move around the play with ease. The quote is on the left-hand side of each card. Prompts for discussion are on the right-hand side of each card. The quotes also have relevance in the discussion of other themes, especially questions that explore the characterisation of Macbeth and plot development. Other sets available: Set 1 – The Supernatural Set 3 – Guilt/Anxiety Set 4 – Ambition Set 5 – Characterisation Set 6 – Plot Development/movement Look out for Bundles too!

This 4th series of flashcards, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has explored the theme of ambition in the play. The theme focuses on the negative impact of unbridled ambition having the power to destroy. The three sisters played on this element of ambition, it was their weapon. The strongest overt references are in Act 1, and so for this set there are three cards linked to Act 1. However, there are subtle inferences to ambition as destructive in Acts 2-5 that are worth remembering should there be an essay question that asks the student to make points about ambition from the play as a whole. The quote is on the left hand side of each card Prompts for discussion are on the right hand side of each card The quotes also have relevance in the discussion of other themes, especially questions that explore the characterisation of Macbeth and of how the plot is moved forward where this theme of ambition as destructive can be strongly linked.
