Macbeth: source of a backstage superstition and one of Shakespeare's best-known tragedies. I hope that this scheme of work will allow you to explore some of the areas of the play that are less well known. While covering key aspects such as superstition and the witches, this scheme also looks at the themes of friendship, sleep and prophecy. There is a suggested assessment point at the end, but equally there are moments throughout where you could pause and assess students' developing understanding of the play.
