About this title

Review:

“I got my pack today and I'm impressed. It covers the whole play and has loads of ideas / resources and ICT whizziness in the attached CD.
The even better aspect is the news that the password you get which gets you onto a private part of Teachit will be updated with GCSE materials and tasks so the pack will still be useful even after Macbeth disappears from the SATs.
We'll definitely be using it. For the price, it's the best value resource we've seen in ages. I'd recommend everyone to click on the link on the homepage and get their copy! We're looking forward to The Tempest one coming in April :-)”
