Lesson 2

This week you need to imagine you are a journalist!

You will need to plan and write your newspaper report to inform the country about the tragic news of the death of King Duncan.

Back to Macbeth...


10

May 14, 2020

King Duncan comes to stay at Macbeth‛s castle, Dunsinane Castle.

Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth that she wants him to kill King Duncan. At the banquet in the evening, Macbeth is reluctant to take the plan forward but is persuaded to see it through by Lady Macbeth.

Macbeth likes Duncan and doesn‛t really want to kill him. He really wants to be king though. A ghostly dagger floats in front of him and points the way to King Duncan‛s bedroom. He realises it is time to do the deed. Macbeth stabs Duncan with a dagger. He comes back, covered in blood and still holding the murder weapons. It‛s as if he is in shock.

Lady Macbeth waits in her chamber for Macbeth to return from the murder. He arrives but brings the daggers with him. Lady Macbeth returns to King Duncan's room to leave the daggers there and make it look like King Duncan's guards did the deed.

Macduff finds King Duncan dead in his room. Everyone panics. When the lords go to arrest Duncan‛s guards, they discover that Macbeth has killed them. He says it‛s because he was so angry with them for murdering Duncan, but it looks really suspicious.

King Duncan‛s sons are scared that they might be next on the hit list, so they run away. Soon after, Macbeth is made King of Scotland.

Here is a reminder of the plot details at this point in the play:

The unfortunate incident of Duncan's Death...

Step 1: Write an introduction for your report (include the 5Ws)

Step 2: Write the 'main body' of your report and include quotes from the interview you wrote last week (try to include direct and reported speech)

Step 3: Write a conclusion for your report

Step 4: Draw a picture and add a catchy caption

Step 5: Create a snappy headline!

Step 6: Box up your plan - write brief notes to remind you what to include before you write up your report in full.

In today's lesson you will create a 'box-up' plan for your newspaper report. Here are steps to guide you through each part of the planning process:

Lesson 2Step 1: Introduction

Who: King of Scotland

What: Murdered

Where: Cawdor Castle, Inverness

When: At midnight last night

Why: Unknown

Last night, at midnight, hither at Macbeth's

Castle, a terrible deed hath been done;

King Duncan was found dead in his chamber.

May 14, 2020

Step 2: Direct and Reported Speech Include quotes in your newspaper report.

Use direct speech (conversation in speech marks) or reported speech (report what was said).

Here are some top tips for changing direct speech to reported speech:


15

May 14, 2020

You need eye-witness accounts! Go back to the interview you wrote last week. Use that to help you write a couple of paragraphs as a draft for the 'main body' of your newspaper report. Turn some quotes into reported speech. See these examples:

When questioned by police, Lady Macbeth claimed she retired

to her chamber unaccompanied and was there until morning.

According to the maids, Macbeth was acting suspiciously

throughout the party.

A source close to the King (who wishes to remain anonymous)

told us that it was a lavish banquet and people were thoroughly

enjoying themselves.


16

May 14, 2020

Step 3: Conclusion

There are at least six other eyewitness statements similar to the ones above, leading our investigators to believe that XXX is responsible.

Most of the witnesses interviewed seem reliable and it leads us to believe...

Will the assassin strike again?

Who do you think is responsible for this calculated crime?

This is the part where you need to 'round up' the report:

You could conclude by posing a question:


17

Step 4: Photograph and Caption

Cawdor Castle where the tragic incident occurred.

Here is a picture of Macbeth's castle


18

May 14, 2020

Step 5: Catchy Headline!Some people think this should be the first thing you do when writing a newspaper report. From experience, I suggest it is best to wait until you have completed everything else to come up with the most apt headline!

Newspaper headlines need to be:•Eyecatching•A title for the news story•Short and snappy.

Headlines also often use alliteration. Can you think of a good one for your report? Here are some examples:

Now it's time to write your newspaper report! Imagine it's an Extended Writing lesson at school. There is an example if you need it after the templates and a word mat to support.

Use your plan to help you. You may want to write a first draft of the report in your book or go directly to typing/writing into a template. I've attached some you can use on the next couple of slides or you can find one here on the Primary Resources site to download and edit if you wish to type.

Please also cut out and stick (or write) these toolkits into your book beside your

newspaper report.

Last night, at midnight, hither at Macbeth's mansion, a terrible deed hath been done; King Duncan was found dead in his chamber. According to a source, there had been a wonderful atmosphere at the castle as a party had been thrown; it was raucous with food and drink aplenty.

However, after the celebrations, in the early hours of the morning, King Duncan was found dead in his very own resting place. Police are treating his death as suspicious for he was drenched in blood; seemingly the victim of a cold-hearted killer.

Rather incriminating, his guards were found to have blood on their faces and daggers

in their hands.

Lesson 3

His majesty was found by Macduff of Fife.

When questioned, Macduff explained, "I went to the king's chamber to collect something. I suddenly noticed a still body lying on the bed. Moving closer, I noticed what looked like horrific wounds and streaks of blood..."

Macbeth stated that he was clearing up after the banquet with his wife, Lady Macbeth when

he heard the terrible news. In contrast, Lady Macbeth told the police that she had retired to her chamber and was alone for the duration of the night.

According to a source, there was an amazing atmosphere at the party, with lots of great music, food and drink. King Duncan was having the time of his life, unaware of his fate.

Last night, at midnight, hither at Macbeth's mansion, a terrible deed hath been done. Thither at the mansion, King Duncan's body was found bloodstained.

He had horrific wounds, and he lay there drenched in his own blood. A dagger marked on his body. Lying on the floor, motionless, he was found dead. Everyone was horrified. Only the dagger has the evidence of the unsolved mystery. Only the dagger knew its past.

We bring you exclusive news that the king of Scotland, King Duncan, has been assassinated at Macbeth‛s (the new Thane of Cawdor‛s) Castle, Inverness. King Duncan‛s body was discovered around midnight by Macduff, who was visiting Macbeth at the time.

It has been reported that on the night in question Macbeth was holding a banquet to celebrate the defeat of the Norwegian army. Having interviewed many of the guests, it seems that prior to the murder, people were revelling in the joys of the banquet. It even seems that servants and guards alike were able to join in the festivities as the host, Lady Macbeth, was said to have plied the guards with much food and wine. However, later that evening, at around 12am, King Duncan‛s body was discovered with multiple stab wounds, as were the bodies of two guardsmen.

Macduff, who discovered the body, told the police that he went to rouse the King and was alarmed to find his body covered in blood-due to multiple stab wounds. The police are continuing their investigation and have two main suspects.

When questioned, Macbeth stated that he was clearing up after the banquet with his wife, Lady Macbeth when he heard the terrible news. In contrast, Lady Macbeth told the police that she had retired to her chamber and was alone for the duration of the night.

Many questions remain unanswered, but one question that is on everybody‛s mind: will the assassin strike again? Is anyone safe?
