A lesson exploring the presentation of Macbeth. I try to drip feed them the context so that they know where to link. I also introduce them to new vocab each lesson too - and recap the next. With this lesson, I annotated my own copy of the text. I looked at how he is presented as an "eagle" and "lion" - like an apex predator- unbeatable. Also, "cannons overcharged" - like a lethal weapon, ruthlessly attacking. I also explored idea of a tragic flaw - character has to appear noble so that the downfall is even more shocking. Challenge part of the lesson - how does Shakespeare perhaps subtly suggest that Macbeth has ability to be evil? "bathe in reeking wounds" and "Golgotha" quotes - suggest that he actually enjoys death, and takes pleasure in it. Killing the traitor was not just a task, but something he enjoyed - sadistic? Those were the notes I used for the lesson.

Leading on from lesson 2, where students explored Old Major and Karl Marx, this lesson begins analysis skills. In this lesson, I also taught the y into -ies rule where I spoke to one student specifically about it and explained a few times throughout the lesson, and then I asked that student to teach the whole class. Worked very well.
