Macbeth Act 5 Revision/Character Study Analysis of language + stagecraft

FIVE FILES INCLUDED

If you have a low to mixed ability Year 9~10 class like me that you need to pull an academic essay out of, then this is the resource for you!

Don’t be fooled, this heavily scaffolded resource was created for my lower ability class and is incredibly easy to follow, but the content is highly academic and may even be appropriate for selective school level students!!!

Alternatively, use this as revision or as a homework task to supplement your classwork!!

This resource is a PPT and worksheet combo bundle!!

What’s included:

Part One: A deep dive into Macbeth’s tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow speech.

We go through the key idea of nihilism, and the students are given guiding questions to deconstruct the language of one of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches!

This worksheet includes:

• Extra readings to help guide student understanding.

• Guiding comprehension questions

• A supported analysis table at the end.

This worksheet comes in TWO VERSIONS for differentiation purposes.

**Part Two: A deconstruction of Macbeth’s final moments
**
**We discuss how he is eulogised by the end of the play and how this contrasts with our “brave and noble Macbeth” from Act 1.

We start with a dramatic reading activity to engage our kinaesthetic and active learners. We then switch to a very straight forward deconstruction worksheet.**

The students are prompted and guided with the teacher led PPT as well :)

This Act 5 bundle took my mixed ability class a total of 6 class hours to complete, but pacing may differ according to your school context.
