<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For teaching ages 10-17, this easy to use photocopiable resource is designed with a focus on fun as well as learning. Many activities stand on their own as introductions to the world of Shakespeare. Activities look at Shakespeare's use of language, history, IT, drama, and art.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Designed for the classroom, this resource book contains activities and exercises to help the teaching of <em>Macbeth</em>. <p/>Although it was designed to be used alongside the <em>Macbeth</em> graphic novels, it can be used with any version of the play. <p/>It includes a broad range of topics including: structure, listening, understanding, motivation and character as well as key words, themes and literary techniques. <p/>The exercises have been approached from a cross-curriculum perspective so that they cover not only literature and literacy, but also history, technology, drama, reading, speaking, writing and art. <p/>The age range is 10 to 17, but of course within that span exists a broad spectrum of skill levels.

Although rather text heavy it has some terrific lesson ideas and the Teachers' answer section at the back is a welcome inclusion.</em><br>Linda Lorenza, Head Of Education<br>The Bell Shakespeare Company, NSW, Australia <p/><em>The Classical Comics resources that I have used are invaluable for teaching at all levels. My students have found them enormously helpful in preparing for their exams as they have allowed me to create more inventive and imaginative teaching resources. </em><br>Dr Marcella McCarthy, Leading Teacher for Gifted and Talented Education<br>The Cherwell School, Oxford, England <p/><em> [the resources] capitalize on the concept of using comics in the classroom to make classics of English literature more accessible. As such they are highly original; I know of no other resource that combines work with a classical text with the more visual approach of a comic. Having said that, the resources are equally valuable if teaching the text from a normal book. </em><br>Dr Kornel Kossuth, Head of English<br>Saint Ronan's School, Kent, England.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>As a parent Karen Wenborn recognizes the need to provide today's Playstation generation with literature in a format that will engage and delight. Already the proud owner of well over 2,000 books, (all of which have been read), there is little that Karen doesn't know about literature from all periods. <p/>Jon Haward created the original artwork for Classical Comics' <em>Macbeth</em> graphic novels. <p/>Gary Erskine assisted on the <em>Macbeth</em> graphic novels and has inked on <em>The Tempest</em> among other titles. <p/>Nigel Dobbyn has previously lettered the <em>Henry V</em> graphic novels and both lettered and colored the <em>Macbeth</em> graphic novels for Classical Comics. <p/>Clive Bryant is the founder of Classical Comics and has served as Editor in Chief for the entire series of graphic novels and teaching resources.
