Today I did the same challenge I did yesterday with this group of Sophomores. They again did really well. They were much faster at solving the cipher (which we changed to something else before class in case the other class shared). Then they also got a puzzle to put together. After the puzzles were done I gave them their next challenge. Both classes are going to research a topic concerning Macbeth and find a creative way to present their findings to the class. The clan that is the most creative gets Blood Points. The topics are the curse on Macbeth, Tanistry, The Real Macbeth, and Witches during Shakespeare’s time. From what I heard walking around the room the presentations are going to be really good. The Real Macbeth group is basing their presentation on the Old Spice Commercial. The Curse group is going to take the entire class down the auditorium and invoke the curse. The group that got Tanistry is going to role-play what tanistry looks like. They even went and asked the Theatre Director if they could borrow costumes. The group with the witches is going to simulate a witch hunt in the classroom. They are even going to memorize and say some of the witches’ lines from the play. I am so excited to see them really getting into this. I can’t wait to what they come up with!
