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: Do you consider yourself to be someone who has a guilty conscience? That is, do you feel bad when you’ve done something wrong or do you dismiss any remorse you may have for what you’ve done? Has your guilty conscience ever made you confess to something wrong that you did? Has anyone with a guilty conscience ever confessed to you?
Today: 1) Review figurative language with the class: similes and metaphors. Class will look back in previous acts for examples of each.
2) Class will read begin reading Act 3, Scene 4 looking for examples of simile and metaphor and discussing what each one means.
3) In groups, students will finish reading Act. 3, Scene 4. What is the significance of Banquo’s ghost returning to see Macbeth? Is the ghost real or simply a product of Macbeth’s imagination and guilty conscience?
4) Class will discuss Act 3, Scene 4 and “diagnose” Macbeth. Mentally, what is beginning to happen to Macbeth? Is he going insane or does he just feel guilty?
