After students read Act IV of Macbeth, this creative assignment asks them to choose a question to answer in the form of a soliloquy. The options ask them to consider what different characters were thinking as specific events were unfolding in the play. For example, one of the questions is "What is Banquo thinking as he is about to die?"

The instructions contain 7 different questions students can choose from, requirements, a chart they will use to analyze their own writing, and a rubric.

This is a GREAT writing assignment to use during distance learning as a digital assignment. Students can access the directions and rubric in this PDF, and write their soliloquy and analysis chart in Google Docs or whatever way you have them submit their work.

My students had a lot of fun with this assignment! They really liked experimenting with Shakespeare's style. Thank you for your interest, and please ask if you have any questions!
