TABLEAUX:
For this activity, we stayed in our same groups and had to create an image of a scene from Macbeth. Using a prop, we had to act like each character. I was in a group with Rainah, Ruby, and Cayden for this activity. We decided to do thee scene where Macduff defeated Macbeth. Cayden's head was going to be on the top of a stick/broom (Macbeth), Rainah was going to be holding the stick (Macduff), I was going to be laying down on the ground (Lady Macbeth), and Ruby was going to be wearing a crown (Malcom). Here is the picture of our tableaux:
TEXT THEME CARDS:
For this activity, we had to find quotes from Macbeth that represent four different themes: ambition, violence, guilt/remorse, and foreshadowing/dramatic irony. After finding quotes, we wrote them down on index card with their corresponding color. No one had the chance to share their group's theme cards because we ran out of time in class, so I only have the theme cards from my group

For this playlist, we chose four songs that relate to the emotions King Duncan may have felt for the time he was in the play. The first song is Tomorrow by Quvenzhané Wallis. This song is about happiness and saying tomorrow is a new day. It reminds us that tomorrow is only a day away and to look forward to all of the adventures it will bring. This relates to King Duncan because he was a happy person who was grateful of his people. He looked forward into the future, but unfortunately was unable to live to see the next day because he was murdered.
The second song, Call Out My Name by The Weekend is about how he was betrayed by his girlfriend. One of my favorite lines from the song is, “I said I didn’t feel nothing baby, but I lied. I almost cut a piece of myself for your life.” This quote represents how he put all of his trust in her and was willing to give up part of himself for her. However, she did not reciprocate those feelings back to him. This is similar to King Duncan because he put his trust in Macbeth as the Thane of Cawdor. He was there to celebrate Macbeth’s new position at his castle, meaning he trusted Macbeth in giving him a pleasant and hospitable stay.
The third song, bury a friend by Billie Eilish, is from the perspective of the monster under her bed. The monster is asking why she is not scared of him and why she does not run away. It is also about death and wondering what happens when we die (comes from the lyrics “when we all fall asleep where do we go”). This song relates to King Duncan because Macbeth is acting as the monster under his bed and wants to harm him. The monster comes out at night when King Duncan is sleeping to end his life. In addition, King Duncan learned what happens what happens when you die because Macbeth killed him.
The last song, Where is the Love? by the Black Eyed Peas, asks why the world is so brutal. People are killing others and children are hurt. He wants to know where has the love gone and why people cannot love each other. This song has a powerful message and essentially is trying to bring peace to the world. This relates to King Duncan because in the play, he was admired by all. He wanted everyone to get along and love each other.
