a clear analysis

Macbeth is the most popular choice of play for the Shakespeare unit at GCSE. Most students struggle to grapple with Shakespeare's use of language, especially when presented with a lengthy and unfamiliar extract under exam conditions.
This is a series of videos that talks through AQA's 2023 Macbeth question.

• The first video unpicks the question and breaks it down into manageable chunks

• The second video annotates the extract from Act 5, Scene 3 - providing both an effective and uneffective way of annotating an extract under timed conditions

• The third video provides two model answers: one that is okay; the other that is much more polished and sophisticated

Part 1: Unpicking the question

Part 2: Annotation

Part 3: Writing a response
