A grade 7 and a grade 8 slightly improved response to the following exam style question about Lady Macbeth. This is pretty similar to the May 2024 question but the featured extract was from Act 1 Scene 7 rather than Act 1 Scene 5. Starting with this speech (Act 1 Scene 5 ‘The raven himself is hoarse’) explain how far you think Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a powerful woman.Write about: • how Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth in this speech • how Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth in the play as a whole. Includes a grade 7 version and a grade 8 version for comparison. The grade 8 version has a more thoughtful introduction and conclusion and creates more of a debate. The PowerPoint contains colour coded annotations to showcase a deliberate and easy to imitate method for helping students structure a successful response.

A grade 8 model response comparing how conflict with nature is presented in Prelude and Storm on the Island. I’d give it a mark at the top of Band 5 24/30 which I predict is around grade 8. It is well-structured, thoughtful, detailed and developed with apt evidence. To reach Grade 9 it needs to be more critical and exploratory with more convincing exploration of alternative interpretations and contectual factors. I have many other Power and Conflict resources also on my shop such as the following: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-poetry-revision-grid-extended-version-11530298 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-revision-11626301

A range of high grade Macbeth exam responses. All responses were written to reflect the ability of grade 8/9 students working under timed conditions. Marking is subjective but as an experienced examiner, I am confident all of these responses would, in my opinion, fit into the top band because all 6 contain thorough (and at times perceptive) debate with the nuances of the question supported by thorough and at times perceptive analysis of methods and wider ideas supported by fine-grained analysis of judicious quotations.
