Macbeth Act 1 Scene 7

An outstanding resource created by a GCSE examiner with a range of exercises for students to fully dissect the intricacies of such a key scene.

I teach this in my own classroom and it’s a massive hit with students.

This resource includes:

• A main powerpoint with engaging and comprehensive slides with a range of exercises for students.
• A detailed breakdown of the scene with prompt questions for specific elements.
• Focus on Shakespeare’s structural choices including verse endings, line completions, impact of the iambic pentameter and how the verse reinforces the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
• A focus on the impact of language choices.
• Analysis of the relationship and characterisation of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth including Lady Macbeth as both a wife and mother, and Macbeth as a traditional hero/male in Jacobean times.
• Examples of ‘Quotation Explosions’ and how students can dissect the imagery and language of Shakespeare - with model examples.
• A range of ‘Shakespeare made easy’ and challenge activites to help students achieve Grade 9.
