Item description

Challenge high school students to push beyond basic reading comprehension and exercise close reading analysis skills while engaging with Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Given the objective nature of the multiple choice questions, each close reading activity is rigorous enough for students to find deeper meaning in the text, yet convenient enough for teachers to quickly and efficiently gather data on their students’ textual analysis skills. Included are twenty-eight close reading worksheets, each addressing an individual scene, and answer keys. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. 

By the end of the play, students will have done the following (and more):

  • Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Define complex words as they are used in the text
  • Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
  • Determine the tone of given passages
  • Discern the functions of given passages
  • Examine the greater significance of given details
  • Consider how the effect of suspense is achieved in context
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including personification, oxymoron, hyperbole, metaphor, simile, allusion, onomatopoeia, situational irony, dramatic irony, and more
  • Conduct brief research on topics related to the plot
  • Support inferences and claims with sound reasoning and relevant evidence
  • Write about Shakespearean drama with clarity, accuracy, and precision

Materials in this bundle may facilitate small-group discussions in which students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development. Using these resources for structured guidance, students will improve their ability to present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly and convincingly.

Materials are available for teaching a variety of texts such as:
