Act III: Story Time
The witches, ghosts, and characters in Shakespeare's Macbeth are sinister and frightening. Suppose you are invited into an elementary classroom to share the play Macbeth with all of the kids.
How would you hold the "story time" without giving the children nightmares? Write an adaptation [another version] of the events in the play, which include the scarier aspects of the play: Macbeth, the witches, and the ghosts.
Post this story to your own blog, and then critique another classmate's version for appropriate content.
A Scottish man named Macbeth went walking with his friend, Banquo when three magical ladies that could tell the future came up and talked to them. The magical ladies told Macbeth that he would soon be greater than he was - the King of Scotland! They told Banquo his sons would be the kings after. Throughout the story, Macbeth does some bad and mean things in order to become king. He gets into fights with a lot of people because they know he is doing wrong things in order to become king. Macbeth sent people out to go hurt Banquo because he was scared of him. Then, Banquo's ghost came to scare Macbeth even more. Then, men were thinking of ways to make Macbeth not be king anymore.. with twizzlers.
I like the reference to the magical ladies. You made it childish to the "twizzler part"
