This week in 8th grade we are continuing our exploration of Macbeth. We have been working on visual storytelling and stage combat techniques. We will explore play writing. We will be using a play writing game to craft a scene that could have been in Macbeth but is not. The students will do a staged reading of their scene. We will also explore different styles of theatre and create a scene making stylistic choices.
