Today we are going to plot a new story based on the ghost at dinner scene from the story of Macbeth. You are going to change the characters of the story and some important parts of the plot.

This plan will help you when writing your own versions of this part of the story.

Will your main character be a king or a queen and what will they be called?

What will the name of your ghost be and will it be a he or a she?

What will your main character send to get the job done?

How will your ghost act at dinner?

The table below shows a list of Scottish names, both male and female, for you to choose from. There is also examples of what your main character could send to kill his or her enemy. In the last column of the table, you are provided with scenarios to choose from about how your ghost will act at the dinner table.

When you have chosen one from each column, write these down!
