English 11

Welcome back; I hope you had a lovely weekend!

We started off the day going over Act Five questions and the worksheet given out on Friday. I also went over things to study for the upcoming test on Macbeth. After that, we went through a Powerpoint slide describing the traits of Shakespearean Tragedy and the 'Tragic Hero', and discussed how this all relates to Macbeth. If you weren't here, you will need to get these notes for the upcoming test. We then played a Jeopardy review game, and finished off class working on grammar booklets.

Things to review for the Macbeth test:
1. Notes on the history of Shakespeare and Shakespearean plays
2. Notes on poetic devices
3. All act questions
4. Notes on "Chain of Being" theory
5. Notes on tragedy/tragic heroes
