Macbeth 100 Key Quotations for GCSE

(0)
The 100 most important quotations from Macbeth, in my opinion, placed onto one A3 sheet to assist with revision. Each quotation has a brief explanation of its importance in the text. There are lots of ways you can use this in lesson/to revise. OPTION 1: Create a code for themes e.g. a for ambition, g for guilt, k for kingship, d for deception, s for supernatural. Apply the code to link each quotation to one or more themes. OPTION 2: Ask students to add to each quotation explanation by adding deeper inferences, comments on the impact of language and the wider symbolic significance of each quotation in helping to communicate Shakespeare’s message. OPTION 3: Give students a range of exam questions and ask students to pick 5 quotations they would use to answer each question. OPTION 4: Find pairs of contrasting quotations and explain the contrast to show you can explain how a character or theme develops and changes across the novel. Also contains a top 30 quotation lesson and resource (76 slides) aimed at lower ability students. Updated sheet has meanings, methods and message explored for 100 quotations.

100 Quotations in A Christmas Carol with suggested revision activities

(0)
An A3 revision sheet containing what I consider to be the 100 most important quotations in A Christmas Carol alongside a brief explanation of the quotation to help contextualise it. There are many ways students and teachers can use the revision sheet. Below are four recommended ways. TASK 1: Read through the 100 quotations and RAG rate them in terms of how confident you would be including each quotation in an exam-style response. TASK 2: Add letters to link quotations to the following themes: C = Christmas, F = Family, G = Greed, I = Isolation. P = Poverty, R = Responsibility, S = Settings T = Transformation. TASK 3: Work in pairs to test each other on the quotation explanations. TASK 4: Choose 5-10 quotations to develop with further inferences into full analytical paragraphs which explore Dickens’ meaning, methods and motives in depth. Also includes analysis of the top 10 single words to analyse in the novella with high level explanations of how to zoom in and then how to zoom out to explore Dickens’ authorial purpose. Also includes: A timeline revision activity for A Christmas Carol that asks students to offer 3 layers of analysis for 13 key Scrooge quotations to help track his transformation in the novel from a solitary miser to a redeemed philanthropist. A01: What is the meaning of the quotation? A02: What is the impact of words/methods? A03: What is Dickens’ message in this quotation? Comprehensive answer sheet is included. I give this out at the end of the lesson so students can compare their answers to it. Ideal revision activity in the run up to the May examinations.
