Synopsis

To accompany the "Macbeth" graphic novels from Classical Comics and to help with their application in the classroom, this book is spiral-bound, making the pages easy to photocopy. Written by a teacher, for teachers, helping to engage and involve students in Shakespeare's play. Suitable for teaching ages 10-17, this book provides exercises that cover structure, listening, understanding, motivation and character as well as key words, themes and literary techniques. Although the majority of the tasks focus on the use of language and comprehension, there are also many cross-curriculum topics, covering areas within history, ICT, drama, reading, speaking, writing and art. An extensive Educational Links section provides further study opportunities. Devised to encompass a broad range of skill levels, this book provides many opportunities for differentiated teaching and the tailoring of lessons to meet individual needs. This resource can be used alongside the Classical Comics adaptation of "Macbeth" as well as any traditional text. In fact, many of the activities can stand on their own as introductions to the world of Shakespeare.

About this title

Synopsis

As always with our study guides we aim to provide enough information to satisfy teachers and students alike, in the form of enjoyable activities that children will engage with. The exercises are designed to be used at KS2 and KS3 levels. They can be adapted to suit the needs of your classroom and customised to meet most skill levels. Our focus is, as always, on fun as well as learning. This resource can be used alongside the "Classical Comics" adaptation of "Macbeth", as well as a traditional text, although that definitely isn't a requirement. In fact, many of the activities can stand on their own as introductions to the world of Shakespeare.For KS2 and KS3, these resources provide cross curriculum topics and the opportunity to tailor lessons to meet individual needs. Again meeting the requirements of the strands of progression in the UK curriculum guidelines, the teaching resource provides exercises covering structure, listening, understanding, motivation and comprehension as well as key words, themes and literary techniques.

Most of the activities look at Shakespeare's use of language, but to align with the revised framework for teaching English, you will also see many applications within history, ICT, drama, reading, speaking, writing and art. This photocopiable resource is designed with ease of use in mind.
