Macbeth Roll the Dice Discussion Board

An interesting and engaging revision activity for Macbeth by William Shakespeare. The board contains 36 different questions that cover characters, plot, themes and cause and effect.

Some of the questions on the board include:

• Explain how the theme of ambition is explored throughout the play.
• Who is responsible for the events of the play? Explain your answer.
• Do you think Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have a good marriage? Explain your answer.

How to use:

1. The student rolls the dice.
2. Using the discussion board the student finds the corresponding question.
3. The student either answers the question or uses it as a basis for discussion.
4. The student crosses off the question and the next student repeats the process.

The download includes two PDF copies of the discussion board:

• One A4-sized discussion board that is perfect for partner work.
• One A3-sized discussion board that works for small groups.

I have used for revision with GCSE students or for a fun activity with Year 9 students.
