Individual role playing <ACT 1 SCENE 1>

My role for Act1 Scene1 was Witch two,who has a paddock.Our group member try ways and means to project their voice as shrill as witches.The acting was animated and humorous.

For <Act 1 Scene 2>,I could not understand the script at first glance.After the explaination of teacher and i check for dictionary,I could understand the script better.At the same time ，Learnt new words and phrases .

From  early scene that Macbeth is the hero of the war bringing Scotland a comprehensive victory through his own courage and determination.King Duncan’s captain describes the battle between the two armies like that of two drowning men who cling together, but are unable to gain an advantage until Macbeth comes on the scene and tips the balance in favor of Scotland. 

Phrases such as “velour’s minion” and “Bellona’s bridegroom”, which means the servant of courage, and the husband of war.  The captain provides a very descriptive account of Macbeth’s fight with Macdonald, saying “He unseamed him from nave to the chops. And fixed his head upon the battlements”.  

There is  an ironic twist towards the end of the play.

The captain’s report also pays tribute to Macbeth’s fellow captain, Banquo, and the pair is described as “eagles and lions pursuing the timid Norwegians, who were like sparrows and hares”. 

In class, we discussed the comic grids，which help us sumarries act 1 scene 2.

Actually，i don't  have much talent in art.So,i don't like to draw.It is difficult for me to complete the comic work.

  The presentation of Three witches（Act1 Scene1  Macbeth） by classmates is funny and interesting. But I think it is not an easy job, as they have to pluck up their courage to perform in front of the class. Some of them had done well, while others are just too shy. I learnt that we should use either high or low pitches to represent different character.

  Next ，group work about superstitions ，we get to know different superstitions，and how does those superstitions come from, It enrich my knowledge.

I really like the research of superstitions by my peers! Love the way teacher demonstrate to us! I think research really helps in our study, it enhance our knowledge！
