This fun and interactive lesson invites students to take part in a mock trial exploring a key question from Macbeth:
Are the witches responsible for Macbeth’s tragic downfall?
Students will be introduced to the task, then supported as they work in teams to gather textual evidence, build arguments, and prepare their case - either defending or prosecuting the witches. The activity encourages close reading, critical thinking and lively debate, making it a highly engaging way to explore character, motivation, and blame in Shakespeare’s play.
Perfect for KS3 or KS4, this lesson includes clear guidance, structured tasks, and opportunities for performance, group discussion, and persuasive writing.
