Exam style task and whole-class feedback sheet** A simple task on how the character of Macbeth changes as the play progresses and a feedback sheet that I gave to my year 10 students after they’d completed it.  Not sure if it’s helpful, but I’ve also put some other specimen exam tasks in the folder.  They’re from a couple of years ago and based on the Eduqas English Literature exam, but they should be easy enough to adapt. [Exam Task and Feedback Sheet](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/18d11w8zqkh7uff/AAAKeKjj8XHzjVSYR9AggHNsa?dl=0)   **2. Literacy ‘do now’ tasks** Last week, I wrote a short [blog](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/teaching-an-inspector-calls-lesson-structure/) on how I start most of my lessons.  Usually, I ask students to copy and correct a short piece of writing that will relevant to new content covered later on.  If you click on the link, you’ll be taken through to a series of slides with the Macbeth tasks I gave my wards at the beginning of the academic year. [Literacy ‘Do Now’ Tasks](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hubfs/Literacy-Tasks.ppt)   **3. Characterisation overview – click** [**here**](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Character-Overview.docx) A one-page overview for students that contains what I call the ‘fundamentals’ on three characters – Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and Macduff.  Useful for revision or as the basis for questioning and discussion. [Characterisation Overview](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hubfs/Character-Overview.docx)   **4. Revision extracts – click** [**here**](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Extracts-to-Review-on-Macbeth-and-Lady-Macbeth.docx) A selection of extracts from the play and also banks of key words.  When I used the resource earlier in the term, I squished the first two pages together to form a single A3 sheet and then did the same with the final two pages. [Revision Extracts](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hubfs/Extracts-to-Review-on-Macbeth-and-Lady-Macbeth.docx)   **5. 50 quiz questions – click** [**here**](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/50-Quiz-Questions.docx) Finally, a really simple one: 50 quiz questions on Macbeth.  Answers in a friendly red. [50 Quiz Questions](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hubfs/50-Quiz-Questions.docx)   I hope the resources are useful.  Feedback always welcome.
