Four rounds, each including 10 questions on Macbeth. Assumes knowledge of the play. Rounds include: Plot Who said that line? Complete the line Context There's also a PowerPoint included with the answers and a summary task. I'm using as a carousel in small groups, but could just as easily be used as an individual quiz/test.

A PowerPoint taking students through this important scene. It includes a number of activities including drama tasks, language analysis tasks, creative writing, a chat show and a storyboarding activity. Should keep them busy for a while! I use this with mixed ability year 8 classes, but it might work for lower ability ks4 ( though you might miss some of the tasks out/adapt them).

A great pre-reading activity based on Macbeth. Students simulate being in a police investigation and try to uncover the identity of a missing woman based on the things she has said and done. (It’s Lady Macbeth). Students work in groups, in role, which makes for an excellent speaking and listening activity, as well as a great introduction to the play. (It works best when you’ve not done anything with them on the play).

A couple of lessons exploring the dramatization of 2.1 and exploring the language used by Demetrius and Helena. I've used with a year 8 class, but you could use with older students too. Might need some adapting for KS4.

A worksheet which gives a plot overview of 2.2 in a storyboard format for students to draw the images and include their own quotes from the play.
