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.

Way back when there was this king named Bob and Bob was a good king. But he was a little crazy he wanted to get rid of two people that he didn't like they weren't nice to him. So he got three cool kids to nicely get rid of them. They could only get one even though they tried really hard. The three cool kids tried hard but didn't achieve it so they left. And the King Bob threw a nice little party for himself and this achievement. At the party he was a little dizzy and started seeing ghosts of the person so he ran to his bed and hid under the covers.

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.

This quote means the evil witches tell the the truth and if we dont listen to them they will betray us in bad consequences.

For personal improvement i am going to try and get better grades. My grades are decent but not good and i want to have straight B's. I need to improve in math and french. If i get those to B's that will be a good resolution for me. Sophomore year is a important year for grades and i want to do good.

For the outside world i want to do better in wrestling. I want to have a positive varsity record for this year. Im 2-3 now and looking to win two matches this week. Going a positive record this year will help me next year too giving me better seeding in tournaments.

For friends and family i want to help them more. Especially my parents and grandparents, im going to help them around the house and the yard work. I am going to help my dad more in the yard because he is getting older and my yard needs to be worked on.
