Original Prompt

create an escape room that previews and sparks interest in Act III of Macbeth

This resource engages students in an immersive escape room experience centered on Act III of Shakespeare's Macbeth. The learning objective is to analyze key plot points, themes, and character developments, focusing particularly on Macbeth's mental state, the symbolism of the banquet, and the implications of the prophecy. The activity consists of four interactive challenges: analyzing Macbeth's manipulation of the murderers, interpreting the appearance of Banquo's ghost, investigating threats to Macbeth’s throne, and tracing psychological shifts in Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Students will also predict future actions in the story based on evidence collected during the activity, encouraging deeper understanding of themes such as ambition and guilt, while facilitating discussions on the supernatural elements that drive the plot.
