Need a Macbeth intro activity? Kick off the unit with an anticipation guide that engages the whole class in a fun discussion! The slides for this pre-reading activity present eight questions in a "Would you rather...?" format that get students to think about the tough decisions that the characters in Macbeth have to make (for example, "Would you rather be fake sometimes so you could get ahead in your career, or always be honest, but appear less ambitious?") Students always have fun debating these types of questions, and it reminds them of the importance of weighing the pros and cons before making any big decisions. It's also a great way to preview the play's themes of guilt and ambition! Just a note: These slides are in PDF to preserve formatting across all operating systems, but you can easily present them like a PowerPoint when you "enter slideshow." Here's a quick tutorial! This resource is also included in the discounted BritLitWit Macbeth Unit Bundle.
