I've been teaching English in South Yorkshire for 8 years. I've spent countless hours shuffling text boxes and playing with colour schemes. Please justify this waste of my time.

Macbeth (HA) Debate: Who's to blame?

Students work together on specific characters (Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, the Witches) using resources provided (quotations, context, academic essays) to decide who is responsible for the death of King Duncan. Guidance included on challenge questions to ask when circulating. After this, students present to each other their ideas before returning to their home group to plan a response to the following: “To what extent is Macbeth coerced into killng King Duncan?” Works really well - kids love arguing!
