How does Shakespeare present attitudes to gender in ‘Macbeth’?
Students so often write about gender dynamics in ‘Macbeth’ with clumsy generalisations that examiners can’t abide. This lesson aims to encourage specific and mature contextualised understanding of gender in the 1600s and within the play itself.
This 30-slide PowerPoint explores how Shakespeare exploits and subverts attitudes to gender throughout the play, encouraging students to comment with precision and perception on masculinity and femininity.
Ideal for KS4 students in particular but easily adaptable for other ages.
This is a decent resource- very useful. But why is it in .pdf, and not a .pptx? It's incredibly onerous to have to convert each page into a slide. Had to use small pdf website in the end but it worked.<br />

Great resource for building into lessons, however.

Hi there! Many thanks for the review. I save my PowerPoints as PDFs to maintain my font choices and to inhibit reproducibility (as I hope you can tell, I spend a lot of time on the aesthetics). I'm sorry to hear that it took you ages to transfer the slides; it's supposed to still work as a PowerPoint, unless there is an issue with the upload from my computer. I have just replaced the file with one from my Mac - which should work as slides if you press the arrow keys? It's working on mine. Could you let me know if the new file works for you?
