I was happy to be back and continue the finale of Macbeth!

Yesterday, I was unfortunately sick, so students watched a documentary called "Witchcraft: Myth and Reality". The documentary discusses pertinent history that will give some insight to the political context in which Macbeth was written, and some background for our upcoming unit, "The Crucible". There were video questions to complete as well.

Today, we discussed the questions for Act Four, and read Act Five, Scenes 1-4. Students then started completing a worksheet on Lady Macbeth's character and the 'sleepwalking' scene. Questions for Scenes 2-4 were distributed as well.

Reminders:
  • Documentary questions due!
  • Act Four Quiz: Wednesday, May 13, 2015
  • 'Lady Macbeth' worksheet: Wednesday, May 13, 2015
  • All Act Five questions: due Friday, May 15, 2015
