Macbeth Revision Wheel

Macbeth – Act 1 Revision Wheel: Dump Knowledge, Make Connections, Secure Marks

Help students get it all out of their heads—and then link it together. This Act 1 Macbeth Revision Wheel is a powerful, active-learning tool designed to turn scattered knowledge into clear, connected understanding.

How it works

Centre circle: Knowledge dump
Students unload everything they know about Act 1—events, characters, quotes, and context—without pressure.
**
Outer wheels: Make connections**
Each section focuses on a key theme, prompting students to link:

events → characters

quotes → themes

language → writer’s intentions

context → meaning
