Students, please check with Mr. B-G to make sure the handouts posted here are the most current versions, as many are updated throughout the year.
I've added a Macbeth character poster activity I did last week with my seniors. There's also a handout on citing correctly from plays. There's a lot more I'd like to add to this page, but alas, there is only so much time.
As for the image above, I had students do a five minute freewrite. They were free to describe what they thought was going on, write about any connections they made between the image and their world, write about how the characters were feeling, etc. It sparked some creative responses, and even my more reluctant students were able to chime in.

I also teach Macbeth. Where did you get the visual? Can you e-mail it to me? I would like to know the poster assignment too please. I am also a high school English teacher and new blogger. I will start Macbeth next week. I am looking for new material.
Click on the image to download it. I did a Google image search for Macbeth and it came up, I think.
As for the poster assignment, it's posted in the link list on the right. Click on "Macbeth Character Poster Activity" to download.
Unfortunately I am unable to e-mail you because you did not include your e-mail address anywhere. If you'd like, you can e-mail me at bgvocab@yahoo.com and I will reply.
Cheers,
Mr. B-G
I love your learning and teaching activities.
I'm a first-year teacher studying Macbeth for the first time in 15 years with my students and have found a plethora of material on your blog.
Thank you.
You're most welcome aussie student teacher. I'd be curious to hear about how the lessons went, and any tweaks or improvements you might have made to the materials.
Mr B-G! Thank you for being so generous in sharing Macbeth material. I have a short-term assignment and hope my students enjoy Macbeth!
My best wishes, argie
