Macbeth: A Study Commentary (Teaching Copy)

This 141-page resource supports teachers and students working towards GCE A Level, IB and AP examinations. It is a line-by-line analysis of the play at a level, and in a manner, that all senior students will find accessible and engaging. It asks, of each scene, ‘What’s really happening here?’ and offers detailed answers – while challenging students, by means of brief but penetrating writing tasks, to find answers of their own. It also provides essay questions in the style of all three examination systems. From an AP Central Teachers’ Resources Review: “The first of several differences from Spark, Classic, Monarch, or other guides is that the Wordsmith Study Commentaries are much longer. Another is the personal voice assumed here – reassuring, conversational, and encouraging.” It is available in both a Teaching Copy (this one) and a Student Edition (with a separate Answers section at the end). It has recently been republished in paperback under the title ‘Study Guide: A Macbeth Commentary: Teaching Copy‘ and with the ISBNs 978-1071216903 and 1071216902
