Identifying 'existing' knoweldge and 'missing' knowledgeConsider: What do I already know about "Macbeth" that will assist me with this assignment task? What do I need to know more about? Using a K-W-L might assist you to do this. www.eduplace.com/graphic organsier/pdf/kwl.pdf App "Tools 4 Students" can help with this ($0.99) Hint: it is more useful to replace the last column with the heading 'What I have learned previously that will help me with this task" eg when studying 'Romeo and Juliet' in Year 9. |

How will you provide mood, setting, time, place? 4.How will you use space/stage for best effect? 5. Have you watched some of the Youtube presentations to give you ideas?
