This is the site licence edition. An easy-to-use, flexible and engaging teaching resource for secondary students of mixed abilities studying "Macbeth". An exciting interactive experience to work in classrooms alongside Classical Comics award-winning differentiated graphic novels to show students and the most reluctant readers that studying Shakespeare doesn't have to be "boring". Designed to be used in a multitude of ways to fit in with many different teaching styles and to promote literacy in a differing caliber of pupils in the same classroom, Macbeth Interactive Motion Comic offers a choice of three language options: Original Text (original Shakespeare with context notes), Plain Text (plain modern English) or Quick Text (reduced dialogue) - all using the same animated artwork giving you a classroom of pupils, of whatever ability, effectively reading from the 'same' page. There is also an option to view "No Text" (empty speech balloons for pupils to fill in the dialogue!).

(It can even be remotely accessed on an extended network so pupils can access it from home). Interacting with the motion comic is really versatile.
