We're starting Macbeth! I have sorted you into groups and will give you a folder today. You will want to decorate your folder with images and metaphors from the play as we go along.
Your group should be on the alert for paradoxes throughout the play. The title of this post is an example. Be familiar with what a paradox is!
To begin, we will stage the opening scene. Try to be creative. Just because there are three speaking witches, doesn't mean you are limited to only three witches. Think of dramatic ways to present the scene. Shakespeare chose to start with this scene. Why do you think he did that?
Your group should keep a diary of your work. Who does and says what? Who is contributing?
Your group will have to produce a news story based on the events described in scene 2. Have a catchy headline, make sure you include the 5 w's (who, what, where, when why) in the first paragraph. You should also include quotes from the witnesses and a bit of an analysis of what happened. If you are not familiar with how news stories are written check out the New York Times, the Guardian or an actual newspaper to see.
