Remember how I had my students rewrite a scene from Macbeth as if they were live-streaming it?

Y'all, I am F U C K I N G D E A D reading these. 😂

It's been 24 hours and "weapons covered in baby oil" is still cracking me up 😂
@Katzedecimal That’s the line that got me to share this one 🤣
@stopthatgirl7 is my young teen in your class? Holy 💩 that’s funny. 😂
@mangotable I was trying so hard not to laugh when I was grading it. It’s perfect. 🤣
@stopthatgirl7 i genuinely just snorted irl lmaoooooo
@pippa I am legit trying to keep myself from cracking up in the teacher's room rn trying to grade these.
@stopthatgirl7 I would pay actual real money to watch a performance of this. No cap on god.
@stopthatgirl7 can google translate this?
@stopthatgirl7 William himself would very much have enjoyed that. :) In contrast to many people today, he didn't seem to have any issues with inventing a new word here and there when it sounded cool... Was that the origin of the assignment?
@zappes We’re reading Macbeth in an interactive reading class, and this was to verify that they fully understood everything happening in the captain’s speech in Act 1, scene 2, where he’s relating the battle between Macbeth and Macdonwald to the king. They did! 🤣

@aaron I am 100% showing this to my students next class 🤣
@aaron thank you - it was occasionally hard to understand (I speak Luxembourgish, French and German mainly) but good for a laugh! 😂 @stopthatgirl7

@stopthatgirl7

I certainly would have paid more attention in Lit classes (pun intended🔥) with content like this... Ong!

Hey @[email protected] check this thread out.🤣💀

@stopthatgirl7 This is great! The King's English to Gen-Zinglish or maybe Gen-Anglish 🤣
@stopthatgirl7 soooo diff from my fifth-grade class’s reading of the “Scottish play”. 🤣
@stopthatgirl7 almost as incomprehensible as the original
@stopthatgirl7
Good grief, whether its in Shakespearian English, or streamer English, I don't understand a thing that's going on!
@DodoTheDev @stopthatgirl7 It's basically a story about a society
@stopthatgirl7 I must be dense, but I can't quite tell if that means you love these or you're appalled.
@matt Oh, I love it. They did the assignment correctly and proved they understood the Shakespeare, and were able to show their own creativity and tone. This is great.
@stopthatgirl7 nice. I didn't understand nor the original nor this one. 10/10 no notes
@stopthatgirl7 You might enjoy this, the introduction to Pulp Fiction as a Shakespeare play. It's an oldie but a goodie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dfLkcTAR80

I don't know if I hate this or love it

@icil If it helps, at one point, one of the members of the pair who did that one said, “No, no, you can’t phrase it like that. It’s too intelligent. Streamers are stupid.” So they were going for as brainrotted streamer as possible, and nailed it.
