GCSE English Literature: (4) Macbeth – Act 2 Scenes 3 and 4, and Act 3 Scene 1

William Shakespeare tragic tale of misplaced ambition, betrayal and murder is brought to life in this dynamic PowerPoint lesson that covers Act 2 Scenes 3 and 4, and Act 3 Scene 1. 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 26 slide lesson provides approximately 2-3 hours of classroom teaching time and includes a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, a glossary of terms slide, an academic writing task, a theme tracking slide, 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!
