Monday, October 31

Objective: SWBAT analyze and interpret character (intent, motivation and action).  SWBAT interpret and explain figurative language.  SWBAT read, interpret and analyze Shakespearean drama.

Do-Now: Does Macbeth’s story remind you of another story you’ve heard or a movie you’ve seen?  Is there anyone in history who has led a similar life to Macbeth?  Are there any fictional characters who resemble Macbeth (either from books, movies, or plays?)  Explain.

Today: 1) Class will read “Soliloquies and Asides” on pg. 521, discussing how Macbeth’s decline can be seen from these speeches.

2) In groups, students will be assigned one of Macbeth’s soliloquies to revisit.  Each group will re-read the soliloquy and re-write it as a song/rap, while still staying true to its meaning.

Exit Slip:  Which soliloquy do you feel revealed the most about Macbeth’s true character?  Explain.
