Macbeth Unit

We have recently begun our unit on Shakespeare's Macbeth. After having spent the past few days reviewing and practicing working with key concepts and literary terminology, we are ready begin reading the play upon our return from break.

Reading will be conducted entirely in-class. For homework, students will complete reading journals after each in-class reading. Journal guidelines and packets were distributed in class. Journals will receive both daily completion grades and cumulative grades on entry quality at the end of each act.

After each act, students will take a comprehension quizzes. All questions will be in short answer format. After we finish reading the entire play, students will take a unit test. This will primarilly be in same format as the act quizzes. There will, however, be additional sections for matching/multiple choice and an in-class essay.

Additional assignments for the unit will be posted as we come to them.
