Macbeth - The Witches - teaching resource

GCSE English Teaching Resources: Macbeth – The Witches 

(24-slide PowerPoint and 8 worksheets)

This GCSE resource explores the importance of the witches and the theme of the supernatural in Macbeth through a range of engaging and differentiated activities.  This lesson situates both the role of the witches in Shakespearean times and in the text and makes connections between these ideas in order that discussion of contextual factors is not ‘bolted on’.  

Differentiated worksheets (Bronze, Silver and Gold) are included for students working towards a band 3, pushing beyond a band 3 and heading towards a band 4, and for students aiming for the very top grades. These activities culminate in a concluding task that evidences and secures learning from across the entire lesson.
