A pack of resources designed to accompany my 'Macbeth Textbook'. Each of the sections in the textbook have an accompanying powerpoint for the teacher to use in order to focus the class on the section of the book's page which they need to complete. There are also print ready versions of sections of the play for annotation as well as some other useful resources. Also additional help for test preparation.

A powerpoint presentation which can be printed out as a textbook. It is designed in a textbook format with lessons for each of the important sections of the play. Each of the lessons includes activities that have been differentiated three ways and can be used either independently by pupils as a cover lesson or can be taught with the accompanying lessons. There are also three Macbeth related SPAG lessons and an optional 'flipped classroom' lesson. The textbook finishes with a reading assessment.

A revision guide for use with lower ability sets that covers all the basics of Animal Farm's main characters and their context.

A lesson to use before studying Macbeth - it encourages students to consider the motives behind murdering the king and the different feelings of the characters. It is also a great activity to use as a speaking and listening piece both for group work and for drama.

A grid based lesson that encourages students to be more independent in their learning by choosing for a bank of tasks to analyse poetry. This resource can be used in many different ways depending on student ability levels - this allows for various levels of differentiation within the same lesson. In this ppt I provide slides themed around exploring poetry linked to the theme of 'lions' (along with two poems which can be used in the lesson) as well as providing slides without any link to lions so that you can use the same resource with any poetry of your choice.

This lesson covers a small section of the captain’s speech in 1:2 and a large chunk of 1:3. The lesson is designed to follow Macbeth 1:1 (which is available from my shop) and encourages students to engage with whether or not Macbeth lives up to our expectations.

This is a free resource which accompanies a lesson which is available in my shop, see link - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/macbeth-1-1-watching-and-directing-the-witches-11191835

This could be used as 1 or 2 lessons. The first section involves watching and discussing existing versions of the scene (unfortunately I could not attach these for copyright reasons but there is space for you to add hyperlinks if you so choose) and then students can make their own scene choices on a worksheet. The second section involves group work speaking and listening - there is a slide with the NC levels and an extra left blank for you to add your own school's levelling system. Please note the worksheet is available free of charge from my shop. (Great deal huh? Two lessons and a worksheet - bargain!)

A set of templates to be used with the Survival Guide SOW available from my shop.

***NEW REDUCED PRICE*** A 6 lesson SOW for Year 7 introducing skills required for persuasive, informative and instructive writing through the creation of a Survival Guide Booklet. Although the SOW is 6 lessons long it can take longer if pupils are drafting work in their books before writing up their neat copy for the booklet pages. Their are templates available for the pages in a separate, free download (see my shop). Please note there is also a free download of Lesson 3 (Persuasive Writing 1) available if you would like to take a closer look before committing to the whole scheme.

The second in a Year 7 Survival Guide SOW, this lesson explores how to create an author's note page for the survival guide booklet by writing in an informative and interesting way. For more lessons in this SOW please see my shop.

This is the first lesson in a Year 7 SOW developing a Survival Guide booklet. This lesson focuses on how to create a front cover for the booklet which will suit the target audience and purpose. The following lessons in the SOW include writing to persuade, inform, instruct etc. Please see my shop for more lessons from this SOW.

A lesson to teach six persuasive techniques to Year 7 students (although could be used with other KS3 years or even KS2 depending on ability level). Students love the Norwegian looking FLARRD and enjoy trying to pronounce it in an exaggerated way. The drawing was a very basic doodle of what a FLARRD might look like -you could swap this for your own interpretation. The grid can be used as a beetle drive style game - students roll a dice and then have to find an example of the persuasive technique before drawing that section of their creature, this would require you to provide one or several persuasive writing extracts that feature the six techniques or alternatively you could ask students to write their own examples. This lesson is designed to be used as part of the Survival Guide SOW, which is available in my shop, although it can be used independently.

This powerpoint introduces some of the main themes of 1:1 and the play as a whole. It tackles the scene in a simple way that reassures students Shakespeare isn't so hard while also introducing some complex ideas about interpretation of the witches and the context of the play. This is the first in a series of lessons on Macbeth - I hope to be uploading more soon.

Assessment sheets which allow quick feedback to pupils. This set of sheets includes reading feedback (based on PEA/CE writing structure) for the novel, Shakespeare and poetry and writing feedback based around the old National Curriculum standards. As most schools have now developed their own levelling system any sheets that previously included the NC numbers have been included both in the NC format and in a format with blank space to write in new levelling numbers or letters - whatever you've gone for :)

A revision booklet designed for use with lower ability GCSE classes in preparation for the new specification exams. The booklet aims to narrow down the number of quotes the students will need to memorise while also allowing room for them to make notes on the way characters and themes link to context.
