Macbeth Scenes CNG

I really enjoyed doing the Macbeth scenes in groups and acting them out as a class. It's fun watching how other people decided to dress up to try and show the time period in which they were set. The way in which the scenes were acted out was also an important part, since different groups used different techniques to try and show what was happening in the scene, as for example the shadows and the swords being played by an actor. We should do this more often for other plays as well because not only is it something different from what we normally do, but also by acting the scenes out with a group, we get to understand what is happening much better. Also, interacting with the other class was also something I liked, since we don’t get to be with the people in that class, so seeing how they chose to act the scene and how good they actually are at acting was a fun experience. And as I was mentioning before, some elements some groups used in their acting came out really well. The swords part was a really well done one, symbolizing Macbeth and Macduff fighting by just showing the two swords fighting by themselves. Things like this is what makes doing these activities a lot more fun to do, as well as get us to come out of the normal routine we have and do something different.
