Macbeth by Shakespeare- Background Information Power Point

This is a 34-page, visual Power Point presentation about Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. It includes a historical overview of the characters, setting and plot of Macbeth.

I use this Power Point to build background knowledge about the real events and people depicted in the play. I've selected lots of visually stunning paintings and photos to help students see some of the key elements regarding plot and characters in the play.

This file is ideal for printing out and placing on a bulletin board.

I've also included some great "ready to play" links to free (legal) videos of experts discussing the literary elements such as character and setting in Macbeth as well as a free link to a current film production.
