Part A: Locate or Create Macbeth
Directions: Throughout this unit, you have analyzed how the characters, scenes, and themes from Macbeth have been represented in different artistic mediums. For this part of the assessment, identify a source that draws on, expands upon, or transforms the scenes, characters, themes, events, and/or language of the play. Analyze how this relationship impacts the reader’s understanding or appreciation of Macbeth and the chosen source or created piece.

Where do you see Macbeth?
Identify an object, a person, a place, or a moment where you see the characters, ideas, events, or themes of Macbeth. You might find Macbeth in:
Another film or performance—one that, while not a direct adaptation of the play, echoes and builds on the characters, themes, or plot in some way.
A character or theme from a novel, story, poem, song, or television series.
An historical event or a political figure from the past or present.
A painting, sculpture, video, speech, or performance.

You might have another idea for a source where you see the influence of Macbeth. The choice is yours (with teacher approval)! Take a risk and have fun. It is your ideas as they are explained in the written component, that is the focus of the assessment.

Part B: Explain Your Creation or Choice
Directions: Write a response of about 300–500 words (about 2–3 pages double- spaced) in which you explain the source you chose. Be sure to address the following questions in your response and to include specific evidence to support your ideas:
How does this chosen source draw on, expand upon, or transform the scenes, characters, themes, events, and/or language of Macbeth?

What deeper understanding or appreciation about Macbeth and the chosen source or created piece should a viewer or reader have after engaging with it?
