Act 1 scene 1, the Three witches, is a short play involving three witches as they prepare to meet Macbeth. This play is going to be played by everyone in our class and it is not going to be easy. Each and everyone in our class is going to be formed into groups of three, as the number of witches, and are going to play out the whole Act 1 scene 1 as a group. This play may be short and easy to memorise but, to play it out with voices which may seem to sound like the witches is the hard part. It is not easy to voice out the whole play in front of all our classmates especially since we are going to sound weird.
Act 1 scene 2, talks about a captain on the battlefield reporting to Duncan, Scotland's king , about the Thane of Cawdor leding an insurrection. After Duncan's soldier put down the rebellion, Duncan condemns the leader to immediate execution. In a battlefield promotion, Duncan plans to evelate Macbeth to Thane of Cawdor. This play is a long four paged play with a original text which is extremely hard to understand without the help of the modern text. The original text comes with difficult words and phrases, and not everyone is going to be able to understand it easily. Through the lessons, it has made the play easier to understand know the meanings o the difficult words and phrases.
The comic grid which consists of five or seven depending on how you want it to be, is supposed to show your undestanding on Act 1 scene 2. The comic grid is to be a summary of Act 1 scene 2 through pictures or drawings. Through the discussions in our groups, I have seen the various ways used to summarise Act 1 scene 2. This may seem easy and require little time, but to be able to score high marks require good drawing skills which many lack.
