This activity requires you to have identified a problem: Why does Macbeth want to be king?
This question is the trunk of your tree.
The roots are the causes of the problem. Ask students to add on their own roots e.g. the witches prophecy, heroism in battle etc.
The branches are the solutions to Macbeth's problem -e.g. kill Duncan but there are lots of other factors too - think of Banquo and the role of Lady M.
Then there are the fruits. What are the fruits of Macbeth's desire to be king? This can be produced as a diagram on the board. Students can work together to produce their own trees.
