New updated powerpoint and worksheets 06/11/18 Overview: Three different activities/worksheets designed for a low ability group studying A Christmas Carol. The tasks help consolidate knowledge of the plot and approach complex language in Stave one. I have also included the powerpoint and instructions. I used these for cover lessons which worked nicely. Activity 1: cut and stick images and summaries from the plot in the correct order. Activity 2: Answer 24 (one-word answer) questions about Stave 1 using own knowledge and skimming and scanning the text (could be done in pairs) then find the answers from this section in the following wordsearch. Activity 3: Decoding the nineteenth century language. Read the quotation from the text and write the correct synonym and definition in the box (creates a glossary resource of difficult words that they can return to).

A colourful classroom display to help develop a positive, growth mindset. Includes the images as well as 8 negative phrases and 8 positive ways of approaching tasks to make your own display and to show students how to change the ways they approach learning and different challenges.

Overview: Students select one quotation for each key scene from the table provided and use it to analyse Macbeth’s character. Students evaluate on a scale of 1 to 5 whether he comes across as strong or weak. They then use this to plot Macbeth’s changing character and have a visual representation of his power/weakness across Acts1-5. This can then be compared to Lady Macbeth’s (included in ppt) and students develop their own interpretations/ justify their opinions. Powerpoint and worksheets included.
