Exploring Themes in Macbeth (Highly recommended by students)

(0)
A phenomenal revision resource on exploring themes in Macbeth. This resource transformed my students knowledge on Macbeth and literature essays. Each Freytag's Pyramid includes: Key quotations, Analysis + Context 5 pyramids exploring: Ambition Evil Guilt Kingship + Justice Power + Corruption Fantastic to get students to complete as a group and then type up thematic pyramids as a class. Students love this resource and stick them up as posters as a form of revision. A MUST DO!

Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Activities

(0)
This is a fantastic resource to use with any class, as it focuses on basic and complex punctuation. It models the skill, then assesses their understanding and gives them an opportunity to practice. There are over 5 extended activities for students to choose from after they complete the SPaG activities. All activities are related to the new Spec GCSE English Language papers and can take up to 45 minutes to complete. I use this with students from year 7 - 12, and they find this a great independent activity.
