Independent work booklet designed to guide students step by step through Edexcel English Language Paper 1 Reading Section.

Revision game in which students work their way through key locations from the play to escape Macbeth. In order to progress from one location to the next, students must complete a quote card (these can be ordered in any way you wish, i.e, at random, in terms of difficulty, chronologically, etc). Once all quote cards are complete and the student/s have reached the crown, prizes can be given and cards can be collated into revision notes. I print mine as A5 cards that are then strung together to create flashcards for revision. Alternatively, they can be turned into posters, booklets, folders, etc. Download includes a PowerPoint with the instructions and game board and a separate document with the quote cards. These can also be downloaded separately in my TES shop and used as worksheets if desired!

A collection of 20 key quote worksheets from Macbeth that can be used as singular tasks or issued as a booklet. The sheets follow a guided deconstruction based on AO1, AO2 and AO4 of the Edexcel iGCSE Literature exam. For those using other exam boards, this is basically knowledge of the play, language and structure analysis and links to context. I used them in conjunction with the Macbeth Quote Quest Revision Game (printed on A5 cards which were then fastened together as flashcards). They’d also be great plenaries or starters! Note: *This resource is also included in the ‘Macbeth Quote Quest Revision Game’ also in my TES Shop! *

Three rounds taken from an old family lockdown quiz that have worked quite well in house/form sessions! Round 1: Identify ‘Easter Eggs’ in Disney films. Round 2: Who said it? Bugs Bunny or Trump? Round 3: Identify the chocolate from the Easter Egg Answers and timers all included in the slides. Can be adapted by adding in a general knowledge round relative to whatever year you’re doing it!

A one off lesson (could be stretched into two or three depending on your group or how you adapt it) based around describing the perfect Easter Egg through the five senses. This is more suited for Key Stage 3 but can be easily adapted. Resources include a core ppt, an adapted version for lower ability classes, example descriptions and planning sheets (within ppt). Recommendations: For Key Stage 4, this could be adapted to suit transactional writing with a greater focus on letter writing. I have also run this as a competition in form time to win an Easter Egg which proved to be very popular!
