Macbeth – The Machinima Version

Posted by Adrian on Mar-22-10

‘Shakespeare dies every day in a high school classroom all over the world’.

This is my first page/attempt/draft/experiment with Gary’s Mod to create a cartoon version of Bill’s ‘Scottish Play’.

My plan is to have the ‘cartoon’ give the reader a quick overview of the play’s structure and complexities before they launch head long into the original text. I aim for the work to be a sort of scaffold.

What do you think?

NB I should be working on four presentations for a rather large Aussie ICT conference tonight but just can’t get motivated so I’m embracing my procrastination and am being REALLY, REALLY productive :)

    I love it! way more interesting than the way we were introduced to Shakespearean plays!

  2. Rhondda Said,

    This is a great idea. I love Shakespeare and am always looking for new ways to introduce today’s students to his plays.

  3. Lucy Barrow Said,

    Another awesome job by the “Bruce Boys”!
    I agree completely that there’s so much more to publishing than the old “print and display” method.
    Creating an audio file such as this one evokes the exact mood that you want to create for your listeners.
    Thank you for sharing!
    Lucy :)
    PS: Was a little apprehensive to let my little girl listen to this – it’s way too scary! ;)
