The purpose of this resource is to enable students to be able to work effectively when finding, using, analysing, and linking quotes across the text of Macbeth. Students will focus on exploring quotes and what they show, then linking to wider parts of the text.

The final task focuses on writing up their own response, then peer assessing for key elements of writing, not marks.

A revision pack focusing only on Q2 of the new Paper 1 specification. The pack focuses on key skills for students to work with, a worked model answer using what, how, why framework, and spaces for students to practice their own responses with teacher feedback afterwards.

This lesson/revision resource is designed to work on methods within a text. Students need to be able to identify methods and their definitions, then move onto impact of the methods. This focuses on key skills for Q2 to be able to identify and explain the uses. After, the resource moves onto creating their own examples, and a short piece of creative writing including the methods that they have been practicing. The levelled tasks are also ideal for independent practice and revision, if teachers desire.
