Day 177!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a good Memorial Day Weekend!

Today, we are going to finish Macbeth. If we want to get this done, it's going to require one more day of hard work and participation from you! If we can get the play done today, we will have time to review for your test tomorrow. If not, then we will use tomorrow to finish what we do not today!

As we are reading/ watching/ discussing Act V, we will still use Act IV-V Discussion Questions.

These are the parts we'll take a look at today:
Scene 1: Film & Questions
Scene 3: Read pages 405-407
Scene 4: Read lines 1-7 page 408
Scene 5: Macbeth Speeches on page 409
Scene 8: Film & Questions

State track people: Please check the blog from last week to see what you need to make up. It is YOUR responsibility to cover the material that you missed !

Day 176!

Friday has arrived!

We'll finish up reading IV.i today and then will jump ahead to Act V.

We will use Act IV-V Discussion Questions to guide our discussion and our notes in class. I'm hoping to cover the following scenes in class today (they are pretty short). Whatever we

• V.i (we'll watch this one-- I forgot my DVD at home today, though, so we'll watch it HERE on Youtube..sorry for the Portuguese subtitles)
• V.iii
• V.iv
• V.v

We will finish the rest on Tuesday!

Day 175!

THURSDAY.

We'll start today by discussing what we watched yesterday. We will use these Act III Questions scenes ii-iv to guide our discussion.

As we discuss, be sure you are updating your Macbeth scene notes!

Then we will take a look at Acts IV and V (focusing on scenes IV.i and V.i). We will read Act IV scene i, and watch Act V, scene i. We will use these ACTS IV & V Questions to guide us.

If you are gone for state track, it will be your responsibility to read these scenes, answer the questions, AND update your scene notes. You can use this online version of Macbeth to read it. Macbeth ONLINE.

Day 174!!

Happy Wednesday, and happy last day to our seniors!

We'll spend some time talking about III.i at the beginning of class today, and then we will kick back and watch the movie! While you are watching, please answer these Scene Questions! After you answer the questions, be sure to keep your  scene notes up to pace!

Seniors, you will take your test while the rest of the class is discussing and movie-ing! Before I sign your exit sheets, you will need to make sure you have all missing work submitted! If you choose not to turn that work in, it will be counted as a zero!

Day 173!

It's Tuesday! Yay!

Today, we'll start making our way through Act III of Macbeth.  With a partner, please read these soliloquies and speeches from Act III Scene i. Click HERE to access them! As you read, annotate these speeches and turn them into "regular" English. Once you have finished with scene i, you may move on to scene ii in the book (it's pretty short, I promise). 

If we get time, we'll start watching scenes III. iv-v! We'll answer these questions as we watch that part!
