Macbeth WHOOSH - Whole Class Intro to Macbeth

WHOOSH: Rules for a Successful Classroom Performance

• The teacher reads the WHOOSH script aloud to the class.
• Students sit in a circle so everyone is included and can clearly see each other.
• As the teacher reads a character name, the next student in the circle stands up immediately and takes on that role.
• The student enacts the character through simple movement, expression, and says any associated speech clearly and confidently.
• When the teacher says WHOOSH, everyone in the circle sits down straight away, resetting the activity.
• The next character named by the teacher continues the rotation with the next student in the circle.
• Students should stay focused and ready, listening carefully for their turn.
• All students are encouraged to take part, there are no spectators, only performers in rotation.
• Energy should be positive, supportive, and inclusive so everyone feels confident to join in.
