A two-lesson activity taking your class through a mock court trial. Pupils will determine whether Macbeth is guilty of murder, manslaughter or whether he is innocent. Resources include powerpoint, script for court, character cards, instructions for the defense/prosecution and practice questions for pupils playing characters. Suitable for KS3/KS4 - I have also done a version of this with a Year 6 class (an extra prep lesson/practice lesson was required but the same resources were used).

A worksheet where pupils must put the events of the plot into the correct order.

A menu of homework to be used when studying Macbeth. Tasks are split into three categories (hard, harder, hardest) and each category has a points value. Pupils can choose which task to complete when throughout the topic. Menu is easily adaptable and suitable for KS3/KS4.
