This booklet contains a selection of key extracts from the play, with differentiated questions, writing frames, and guidance on how to complete a controlled assessment task. It was used to prepare students for a controlled assessment task which compares Lady Macbeth, Macbeth, and the speaker from 'The Laboratory&' (specifically the AQA Literature GCSE), and collates many of the activities we had completed in class. Leave any questions or suggestions in the &';comments' box below - this is my debut resouce upload! Nick

This demonstrates to students how to construct a cohesive paragraph, and gives a range of discourse markers for each stage of the paragraph. The step-by-step, sentence-by-sentence guide can be modelled by a teacher or student at the front, completed by students individually in books or whiteboards, or in a variety of ways! The topic (and background) can be easily changed. The success criteria can easily be changed from KS3 APP to KS4 Assessment Criteria.

When it comes to anaylsing characters, it can be difficult to move students beyond inference and deduction, and onto more sophisticated interpretations of character. This character analysis map will help students to go deeper, and look at characters from a variety of angles in order to give them more to think - and write! - about. Can easily be adapted to suit any character study question in any text

This PPT contains a description of different sentence types and instructs pupils to practise using them in a game of consequences. You can change the topic of the writing easily enough (homework is always an emotive topic...), and the starter uses the grade descriptors from the AQA Creative Writing assessment criteria (which can be adapted by exam board / Key Stage quickly).
