Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
  • Students will learn the story of Macbeth and feel empowered to truly understand Shakespeare's language, his poetic style, and his insights into human nature.
Prior to joining Outschool in 2020, I was a classroom teacher of middle school and high school specializing in senior level English for more than 20 years. I have taught Shakespearean texts to students from grade 7 to 12.  I have a bachelor's degree in English from Trent University in Ontario, Canada and a bachelor's of Education from the University of Western Sydney in Australia.

The play presents violent imagery and mature themes about life, death, good and evil that some students may find upsetting.
