Fabulous Friday!

Block A:  Today we read Macbeth from 1.1-1.5.  Here are the questions from the overhead:

1.1-1.2


Create a character sketch of Macbeth - not a drawing - but in point form, write about the kind of person Macbeth is according to those who speak about him.


Find examples of paradox and allusion in 1.1 and 1.2


1.3


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


1.4


What are the main events from this scene?


1.5


Focus on Lady Macbeth and her response to the letter.


What advice does she give to her husband? What does this tell us about her character? Find examples of simile and metaphor in 1.5

Block C:  Today we read to the end of Act 2 of The Tempest.  I will be doing a homework check on your Act 2 character response. Plus there will be a quiz on Act 2 on Monday.

Block D:  Today we read up until midway through the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet Act 2 scene 2. Your homework over the weekend is to finish the study guide for Act 1 in preparation for the quiz on Monday.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!! Only one more week of classes until winter break!
