Revising a Scene for a younger Audience?

Help Me out with this if you know..it says:





Shakespear wrote to entertain and influence the masses and filled his work with violent, sometimes bloody, conflict. While conflict keeps an audience interested in an imaginative work, violence is usually inappropriate for younger audiences.





The scene in Act III involving Cinna the poet and the street rabble is instructive in its display of the negative effects of mob psychology. Consider how the language and the conflict of the scene could be changed to make it meaningful to ten-year-olds. Rewrite the scene for an audience of fourth-graders.








If you know how to do this...help me out plz

Revising a Scene for a younger Audience?
I've done Shakespeare with 8 to 12 year-old kids numerous times.


Actually, they seemed to LIKE having the original language.


But you can also explain what happens in the scene, what messages have to get out, and have them work at it from there. I seldom had time to have them memorize the adapted language (we would rehearse for four and a half mornings), but as long as they knew what the scene required, they could usually make sense of it.
