ACTIVITY 1: “Wielding Witchcraft”
In this activity, students will reflect on the influence of the three witches in the play and, working in small groups, write and perform a scene in which they visit a character other than Macbeth and change the course of the play.
The three witches wield immense power over the trajectory of the play. Discuss the influence of the three witches on the character Macbeth and the series of events in the play. Where does their power lie? How do they use it? Why do they use it? What other characters could they influence? Imagine a prediction they could make to another character that could change the events that unfold.
PART 1: Write a Scene
PART 2: Perform Your Scene
