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

HELLO CHILDREN!!! Today Im going to talk about the story of Macbeth by WIlliam Shakespeare. Once upon a time in a foreign land lived a man named Macbeth who was a good guy he everyone liked him but his wife was not a good girl she told him to do something bad to the king so macbeth could be king and he did! but he got carried away and he became a bad guy who only liked himself and started hurting other people just so he could be king! and people were scared because he even hurt a friend of his and now he is starting to feel bad because his wife made him do these bad things. WHich shows a lesson to not surround yourself with bad people and to always think before for you act.

New Years Premonitions

Banquo cautions his war comrade Macbeth about the Three Weird Sisters' [Witches] premonitions: "The instruments of darkness tell us truths;/ Win us with honest trifles, to betray's/ In deepest consequence..." (Act I, scene iii, lines 123-125). Here Banquo clearly states his position on the Witches' statements. Explain in a few sentences what Banquo means with these lines for their futures.

In this post, also consider what you believe for your future in the year 2010. Premonitions are similar to New Year's Resolutions in that they have an element of self-fulfilling prophecy. One sort of resolution has to do only with oneself. You might decide to lose weight, to stop eating candy, to exercise more, or watch less TV. Other resolutions might involve family or friends. You could resolve to be more patient with your little brother or more helpful to mom. Some resolutions are about school and the outside world, such as getting to class on time or trying for better grades. Make one goal for each New Year's Resolution category: Personal Improvement, Family and Friends, and School and the Outside World.

In 2010 i have a few new years premonitions but one that i really want to fulfill is to stop biting my nails as a self - fulfilling prophecy because i know its a bad habit and i want to get rid of all bad habits that i do. I would also like to get a job to start being more independent in life .
