This morning we had a quick quiz on the intro reading that I assigned last night in Macbeth. I also gave notes on "that Scottish" play, and told you the story of Shakespeare and his times. During our study of Macbeth, I have two main objectives:
That you will understand Macbeth and do well academically. There is no reason that you all should not have A's during Macbeth. You may use your notes on every test and quiz.
That you will enjoy Shakespeare and have fun. This is entertainment. Granted it is 400 year old entertainment- but it, more than any other writing, holds up extremely well. We will actively perform the play and have fun with it. I am not doing my job if you are not enjoying my class. Please come to class with an open mind. If you think that you will hate it, you will. Leave your bad experience with reading his plays at the door...
