Ideas on how to use…

Classroom:

The Challenge Cards can be prinited off and laminated as individual or class sets.

A more covid secure way: The Challenge Card PowerPoint has been set on a timer (can easily be removed). If you play it from the beginning as a slideshow, it will go through the challenge cards quickly. Press esc at any point to select a question for your class. The class can attempt a question as a whole, or you could repeat the selection process to give different groups a challenge card question to focus upon.

After group or class feedback, find the appropriate sample answer slide on the second PowerPoint and go through some of the ideas found there. Adaptable for you to add your own or delete as you feel necessary for your group(s).

Home-learning or remote learning:

Teacher selects an individual slide from the PowerPoint to email home to entire class or to anyone not in school. Teacher to decide on level of written work required e.g. detailed plan of answer, or full written response. Online learning might also take place as a discussion via Microsoft Teams if lesson is live.

Teacher can then support assessment for learning by emailing the corresponding answer slide from the PowerPoint to students at home, or can present it via an online lesson on Microsoft teams for discussion etc.

The 14 Challenge Cards here deal with gender and identity in the play only.

Further Macbeth challenge cards with sample answers will be available in the future on different themes - so keep a lookout.
