Can I read and understand Macbeth? (Two Days) Read the extracts from Macbeth by Andrew Matthews on Tapestry and answer the comprehension questions. (Thane is a title of European nobility, similar to an earl or duke). In Macbeth it becomes a title that drips with blood, sorrow and a stern warning: don’t let the pursuit of power control and corrupt you.
Can I analyse the character of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth? Watch the video clips listed on Tapestry and create character profiles based on their behaviours. Why does Lady Macbeth wish Macbeth had never become king this way? Explain Macbeth feelings when he sees Banquo.
Can I describe the features of a letter? Look at the examples of letters provided and highlight key features: address, date, formal greeting and ending, introduction, middle and closing paragraphs. Read the letter to Lady Macbeth from Macbeth and compare the letter to the other examples.

History Can I use evidence to build up a picture? Use the resources to determine what period of time we are studying now. Read through the resources to find out how the Tudors came to the throne of England. You need to read the sources of information about Henry VIII and word collect words to build up a description of Henry VIII. Remember a description is more than just what someone looks like! Use your word collecting to write a description of Henry VIII.
