Macbeth: Act I

Option 1:

This blog entry is based on what you have taken from the first act of "Macbeth."

There are three parts to this blog. In part one you must summarize in your own words what has happened so far in the play (7-10 key points). In part two you need to describe the character of Macbeth, and be sure to support your description of him with evidence from the play.
Finally you need to change the setting or the genre of the play and describe how (if you were a film director)you would stage the play, and how you would present key scenes(the battle, the witches, Macbeth having visions of the dagger etc.)You can be as creative as you want, and change the play into any genre (science fiction, soap-opera, action, western etc.)that you want.You just have to stay true to the general actions and motivations of the characters.

OR

Option 2: Read the text or go on the internet and read what happens in Act II. Summarize act II and then make a prediction about what you think will happen in the rest of the play.

All hail Macbeth!
