Thoughts on Thursday:

Block A: Great start to Macbeth today! Can't wait to start reading tomorrow. No homework :)

Block C: We read Act 3 today and there will be a quiz on Acts 2-3 tomorrow. Here are the questions form Act 3:

1. What is Prospero's goal in letting Miranda and Ferdinand get to know each other? What will Prospero gain by the arrangement?
2. What plan does Caliban suggest for killing Prospero? What earlier scene does this echo?
3. What terrible realization does Alonso have at the end of Act 3 about his conduct toward Prospero and what he believes to be Ferdinand's fate? What does he decide to do? How is nature involved in his realization?
4. Caliban's speech that begins, "Be not afeared..." (3.2.130-138) is one of the best known in the play. Paraphrase the speech. Then evaluate it for what it reveals about Caliban as a character in the play and poetry.

Block D: Awesome choral reading today - you are all doing wonderfully with the play!! No homework tonight :)

Don't forget to hand in the good copy double-spaced of your multi-paragraph composition with all of the components tomorrow!!!
