English Literature: (0) Macbeth – Introduction to the Text

William Shakespeare’s tragic tale of misplaced ambition, betrayal and murder is brought to life in this dynamic introductory PowerPoint lesson. This lesson has been structured to compliment the GCSE qualification, but I have also made slight adaptions in the past to teach it within the American education system. I have used this specific resource to lead my physical teaching in class, as a distance learning material online/homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students.

This 25 slide lesson provides approximately 2-3 hours of classroom teaching time and includes a starter activity, structured tasks connected to the life and works of William Shakespeare, focused questions connected to the themes and key characters, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. All the time-consuming work has been completed for you, no further work is required. This is a complete resource. Enjoy!
