 Teaching Macbeth
In creating Macbeth’s Disciple and developing a set of notes, we believe we are offering a radical new way of teaching Shakespeare’s Macbeth to school students which will stimulate them, maintain their interest and concentration and improve their grades at examination or course assessment. It offers a unique way of achieving controlled assessment goals, investigative skills assignments and internal assessment activities.
Invented by Lloyd Trott for teaching text analysis to Acting students at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), Exploring character, can be used in schools.
In our step by step guide, we explain how to use this creative approach, adapted for schools, to explore the world and characters of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. We used this creative method for our film Macbeth’s Disciple.
Our notes introduce creative discussion and writing, extending the world of Macbeth to engage your students’ imaginations and enliven their sense of studying Shakespeare.
The notes are best used in group situations but can also be used by an individual student working on Shakespeare’s play Macbeth.
Working with Exploring Character was found to raise concentration and imagination in equal amounts in young people at RADA.
