Take That, Tuesday!

Block B: Oh the slang of the olden days! For homework tonight please finish reading chapter 1 and complete your minimum of 3 different text codes for the chapter on your chart. Make sure you fully explain your thinking - why did you make that note?

Block C: A wonderful start to the reading today. We've only just begun! For tonight think of a newspaper headline that you might give to Act 1 scene 2. You may choose a quote or alter a quote that you feel captures the essence of the scene.

Block D: Very much enjoyed the interpretations of your quote cards today! For homework tonight complete the following 4 questions - cite your quotes please!

1. Examine the first introduction of the weird sisters. Why do you think Shakespeare would open with this scene? Explain your answer using a minimum of 3 reasons.

2. Create a character sketch of (not a drawing - use quotes) of Macbeth through indirect characterization. Find 4-5 quotes that describe Macbeth according to those around him.

3. Find examples of paradox and allusion in 1.1 and 1.2.

4. Discuss Macbeth and Banquo's reaction to the prophecies. How do they differ? What can we infer about their characters?
