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 whom 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 in modern language, while still staying true to its meaning.
3) Each group will present their modernized version of Macbeth’s soliloquy to the class. Soliloquies will be presented in the order they were found in the play in order for the class to be able to view Macbeth’s decline.
Exit Slip: Which soliloquy do you feel revealed the most about Macbeth’s true character? Explain.
