William Shakespeare's Macbeth
Throughout this unit, we will be studying the brilliance of Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth. Many elements of the play will be explored, including, plot, theme, character and setting. In the previous unit, we learnt about language devices, and this knowledge will be put into practice through this unit, by exploring language devices used by Shakespeare in Macbeth.
We will begin by studying the play itself, as well the adapted television series. We will then be looking further into the language devices used in the play, and finally you will be asked to create your own modern day version of a scene from Macbeth, including your own construction of language device in this.
Assessment tasks will be ongoing throughout the unit, with the major assessment task being the short film in which you will be asked to create your own adaption to a scene from Macbeth. More information about the assessment tasks will be given to you on commencement of the unit.
I hope you all enjoy studying Shakespeare’s Macbeth, as well as completing this unit.
