Shakespeare’s Macbeth year 7 Hinged Assessment- Differentiation for EAL Beginners

In my year 7 withdrawal group, I have seven students. Three student are NASSEA’s EAL Step 1, two of the students are Step 2 and two students are Step 3. For the people who are not familiar with EAL steps, they are all EAL beginners but with DfE Proficiency Codes, five of them are A and two of them are B. They are great at learning the whole story and talk about the emotions and character features of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. However, when it comes to writing a hinged assessment that requires to answer ‘How does Shakespeare present Lady Macbeth as a powerful woman in this extract (written in Shakespearean English) ?’, they struggle to follow prescribed answer.
I needed to differentiate the assessment for them. Before the assessment here are the resources I used to introduce the story and characters to them.
They watched the animated story.

We looked at the characters.

They designed posters about the witches.

Learned about Macbeth’s emotions using the keywords on this booklet. (They learned the spelling and meaning of the words) I then tested their spelling once a week.
