Historical context of Macbeth

These worksheetswere designed as a class activity, with groups sharing key facts with the rest of the class. There is lots of information to digest! I found that the students really enjoyed the gory aspects of witchcraft and even points about King James! The historical context worksheet condenses all the information to stick in books. A good background to start looking at the play.
