Hello everyone, I'm currently a first year secondary teacher of English and Social studies. I have uploaded Macbeth resources and activities. I will be uploading more upcoming resources.
The resources can be used for Senior students or juniors. I taught this to my Year 11. The learning objectives includes: understanding quotations and what they mean, imagery and character statements and quotations. Identifying a range of ideas or message/themes. These are photos I have taken, if it’s zoomed in you can be able to read it and comes in a jpg format.Let me know if it’s not visible or clear. Most of the quotations activities are based from all scenes throughout the play.
Most of these resources are activities and questions throughout most of the scenes, however most of them don’t have answer sheets I’m afraid. These are resources I have used and shared with other teachers and thought this would be helpful for others trying to tackle Shakespearean language.
