Review this resourceBrilliant Friday lesson when they are all tired after a parents' evening and Sports' Award night.
Gave Teachit's Macbeth context Grid as a starter, then gave each pupil an empty Bingo grid.
On my flipchart, they could see all 24 boxes - as far as they knew, it was going to be a lesson where they CHOSE which areas of context to focus on.
Once they'd filled in their grids, only then did they see it was a game of Bingo!
Extension activity is for them to rag rate all 24 elements linking to AO3, so that they can focus their AO3 revision over the weekend before writing a practice Macbeth response.
They finished the week on a real high! Thank you! :)
