LC: to think in role as a character and to write an effective report using the conventions of this text type

 Let's watch the final part of the story!

/i/video/8_-_Birnam_Wood_comes_to_Dunsinane_Act_2_Scenes_9-13.mp4

What would happen at Dunsinane Castle when the murder of King Duncan is discovered?

 

If you were trying to find our the guilty killer, what questions would you ask everyone?

 

Think of 2 questions for 2 of these characters:

 

Macbeth    

 

Lady Macbeth   

 

Banquo   

Malcolm 

a servant 

For example

 

Malcolm, when did you last see your father the King?

 

Let's hot seat these characters to find some answers! 

Look at the news report about another event in the story of Macbeth.

Label these features of a newspaper report

 

- headline

- sub-heading

- introduction stating where/when/what/who

- background information about the people involved

- facts and figures 

- how the event ended

- what will happen next

 

Can you find and highlight

- an omitted relative pronoun

- parentheses to add extra information

- a fronted adverbial?

 

Look at the news report below.

1. What is this news report about? 

2. What information are we given in the first paragraph?

3. What will be in the next paragraph?

 

Using the model above about Macbeth's victory, write the 2nd paragraph of this news report in your books.
