# [Literacy ‘Do Now’ Tasks for Macbeth And An Inspector Calls | KS4 Teaching Resource](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/literacy-do-now-tasks-for-macbeth-and-an-inspector-calls)

 Written by [Douglas Wise](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/author/wise) | 1 March, 2000

A while ago, I wrote about how I tend to start my lessons – you can access the post by clicking [here](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/teaching-an-inspector-calls-lesson-structure/) – and I highlighted that I often get my wards to copy and correct a short analytical passage.  Over time, I’ve accumulated quite a few of these tasks, so I thought it’d be helpful for me to collate them into a couple of documents and share them.

Click [here](https://www.dropbox.com/s/9k91d7boiwywj8a/AIC%20%27Do%20Now%27%20Literacy%20Tasks.ppt?dl=0) to access the tasks on *An Inspector Calls* and [here](https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ytlnxth6fipc12/Macbeth%20%27Do%20Now%27%20Literacy%20Tasks.ppt?dl=0) to access the tasks on *Macbeth*.  Most of the references come from [BBC Bitesize](https://www.bbc.com/bitesize), the [British Library](https://www.bl.uk/) website or the introduction to the [Oxford School Shakespeare](https://amzn.to/2SJhH6k) edition of *Macbeth*.  I’ve included a couple of screenshots below for reference.

Hope the resources are useful –

Doug
