This blog has come about because of a chance comment by one of my students. He said that he wished that there was somewhere he could go for ideas on how to teach Shakespeare to his class. I'm going to attempt one idea each day.

Macbeth

The role of women in Macbeth

1) Identify the female characters.
2) Identify their roles.

Draw a female shape.  Ask students to fill in facts, quotes and opinions about the females in the play - in appropriate places e.g. out damn spot would be best on the hands; MacDuff's wife's comments should be near the heart.

What do they learn about the way Shakespeare portrays women?
