This is a version of the Minister's Cat game as in "The minister's cat is an (adjective beginnning with a) eg amazing cat.
In this version choose a character from the play you are studying. Ask students to try to think of an adjective that describes the character acurately as there are two parts to this particular version of the game. e.g. Macbeth is an ambitious character.
The next person has to think of an adjective beginning with b etc.
Write each adjective on the board.
Stage two of the activity requires students to find a quote in the text or an event that supports each of the different adjectives. There should be more than one quote for example that shows that Macbeth is ambitious- If no quote or event can be found to support an adjective it must be struck from the list.
Remind students that the best essays show PQD (point, quote, development) or PEA (point, evidence, assessment).
