HIGHLY DETAILED, differentiated, inclusive, multimedia unit plan for Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Each lesson comes with step by step class procedures with time estimates. Each lesson differs in length. Some lessons are suited for singular class sessions, others can be split up over a series of 4-5 days. This makes each lesson highly adaptable for block, rotating and fixed teaching schedules! Additionally, the material put forth is relatively high level but can easily be paired down and taught to students as young as 7th graders. This unit as a whole has succeeded with flying colors in my own classroom and has fostered a great many Shakespeare fans!
