Happy Birthday Shakespeare!

We celebrated Shakespeare's birthday today with cupcakes and a mini-documentary video summarizing his life and times. After that, we continued reading Act One, Scene Three in Macbeth. I then gave students time to work on corresponding questions. Please finish these for homework.

Thanks for the note-taking! We went through a pile of notes on poetry terms and devices. These terms will be essential for our unit on Macbeth and you may be tested on them in the future...

Furthermore, we finished reading Act One and started watching the Roman Polanski's film "The Tragedy of Macbeth".

Reminders:
  • Macbeth questions (Act One, Scenes One-Three ): due tomorrow, April 24, 2015
