In my experience, students find beginning comparative paragraphs to be the hardest aspect of writing comparisons on the power and conflict anthology poems. These two worksheets offer help with starting off discriminating comparisons. Students use the prompts to complete the opening sentences to various comparative paragraphs.

2 differentiated planning sheets with writing frame for writing an essay exploring who is responsible for Macbeth’s downfall. Stronger students can use the version which explores how Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and The Witches are to blame. Weaker students can use the version that only focuses on how Macbeth is responsible. Includes an accompanying PowerPoint. Also includes a model 4 person discussion about who is to blame to showcase the way students should respond to each other’s points.

Students read the Grade 9 GCSE model answer on the theme of love and trace how the 9 step method has been used to write about the extract and the play as a whole. They then plan 3 GCSE style questions on the themes of death, fate and family honour using the 9 step method. I have made it so you can print them separately or as part of a 4 page booklet.

I have carefully selected 20 brief key extracts from the play. They are the 20 extracts I consider to be most likely to come up in the exam. To complete the revision activity, students must work out what is happening in each extract, analyse two key quotations and make links to context, themes and ideas. This booklet is helping my students revise for the closed book examination. There are 4 A3 sheets covering Acts 1-5. Of the hundreds Romeo and Juliet resources I have created, this is probably the most effective. Also includes a PowerPoint with suggested answers for each extract. Includes an AQA version (with context) and an Eduqas version (without context).
