CAPTAIN       Doubtful it stood, As two spent swimmers that do cling together And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald— Worthy to be a rebel, for to that 10 The multiplying villanies of nature Do swarm upon him—from the Western Isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied, And fortune, on his damnèd quarrel smiling, Showed like a rebel’s whore. But all’s too weak, 15 For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name— Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valor’s minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; 20 Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseamed him from the nave to th' chops, And fixed his head upon our battlements. WRITER’S METHODS LANGUAGE: simile – brave but respects authority. Verb –violent, brutal, powerful, butcher FORM: limits of 17th C theatre, post battle excitement through recounting plot STRUCTURE: First impressions of Macbeth, from another’s perspective IDEAS: admired, reputation, man of action ATTITUDES: violence way of life FEELINGS: disgust, hatred

‘Top Tips’ from former Year 11 students’ parents “The biggest thing we did to support Emma was testing her from the revision guides. It's a boring process and takes time but definitely makes a difference - stops them just staring at the pages with nothing going in ” “Henry wrote out timelines for History, which he made me test him on before he could go out at the weekends with his friends” “Eleanor worked on loads of past papers that she discussed with her teacher- I then went through the paper with her using the mark scheme” “I also made him watch DVDs of Lord of The Flies and Macbeth to support him with his English- These were a Christmas present!”. “Lucy stuck post it notes to a number of the walls in our house, with key quotes for English and with key information on from other subjects so that she looked at these almost everyday”
