KS3 Macbeth SOW - supernatural focused

A unit of work designed for Year 8 pupils to give them information about the play, focusing on the key scenes needed (others are summarised or skipped for time-related reasons or brevity). It includes extracts to annotate with the pupils - some are pre-annotated on the PP slides, others require you to annotate with the pupils (through questioning to get them thinking, rather than just copying down the answers).

I used the Patrick Stewart version of Macbeth to supplement, such as viewing Banquo’s murder instead of reading through it. As such many of the character images include scenes from that version of the film - can be easily changed fi you are using a different version. You will need a copy of the play for such moments.

NB: this SOW only focuses on key scenes to provide an overview of the play and an understanding of a few of the key themes, mainly the supernatural which is the key assessment. The assessment at the end is also not extract-based, although it would be very easy to add an extract in.
