Brit Lit:
Today:
We broke into groups of 4 and acted out Act 4, sc 3.
I asked one person per group to list Macbeth's evil as described by those in the scene. We discussed how Macduff handles the news of his family, and how this sets up for the most powerful theme in all of storytelling:
REVENGE.
I asked you to mime each of the evil descriptions that Macduff lists.
C Block ONLY: We completed journal prompt #10: Please describe how you think Macbeth will fall, given all of the safety that the 2nd prophecy has. If you know how the play ends, please describe an alternative ending. Be creative- as always....

Macbeth Video Assessment:
Assignment:
Pick a scene in Acts 1-4 to perform in front of the class. You must do a full complete scene, which includes all of the key events. Before you begin, your group must make a master script which needs to be followed. Your script can be “modernized” to help you learn the lines. Your script must include: stage direction (every 30 sec), inflection, stress, and prompt notes describing in detail things that you will need.
Part of your grade will be based on costumes. These do not have to be elaborate, but do need to show some effort. In other words, please do not wear what you would normally for school.
Your projects will be graded on the following:
Script 5 10 15
Effort 10 20 30
Costuming 5 10 15
Lines 5 10 15
Interpretation 10 20 25
