Misaki has finished reading her first Shakespeare, and really enjoyed it (despite all the bloodshed). Macbeth can be heavy going! As a follow up to the book, Misaki was asked to write Macduff's diary for the day of (King) Duncan's murder:
That morning I arrived at Macbeths's castle.
At the door I met Macbeth's servants. He said "Everyone is sleeping, I think. Shall I wake the general?" At that time, Macbeth came downstairs.
I said to Macbeth, "Macbeth! Good morning my friend." And I asked him where the King was.
Macbeth and I went to the King's room. I went into the King's room and saw that the King was dead! He was killed by someone. This is murder!
All of the people who were in Macbeth's house were surprised, and Lady Macbeth cried out and fainted.
Who did kill the King? I want to know the truth.
English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!
Misaki,
ReplyDeleteExcellent job young lady! I am really impressed with your hard work and you should be proud of the quality of your written pieces.
