John Catt Ready to Teach: Macbeth: A compendium of subject knowledge, resources and pedagogy

This is English teacher joy in a nutshell! It is like intense study of the play you love with handy teaching tips rolled into one. The analysis is SO detailed and addictive to read that you literally can't wait to get into class to teach all the great new concepts you have learnt. I am a great fan of Pryke, so I was thrilled to discover that he was bringing out this book on one of my all-time-favourite plays. I hope now the trend continues and that he brings out more useful reads to spice up our Secondary School teaching methods.

This is THE book for ‘Macbeth’ teaching. Not only does it contain essays on deep subject knowledge but provides a wealth of resources to help teach the play. I love the ‘at a glance’ sections too. Recommended!

This book is incredible! I’ve taught Macbeth for years and never enjoyed it as much as what I have since using this. It has opened my eyes and encouraged me to explore the play in a depth I never have before. It includes all of the key things needed, while still being straightforward to follow and also provides content to stretch and challenge your high ability students. The resources are fabulous- engaging and accessible. If you teach Macbeth or want to touch up on your subject knowledge, I would highly recommend this text- you will see Macbeth in a whole new light!

Buy it! Read it and devour itOne of the most useful things I’ve ever read

This is an incredibly detailed and impressive book. It expertly combines critical analysis with methods for teaching and resources. This book provides a wealth of material for teachers at all levels and experience. An absolute bargain of a book that will be used again and again.
