Brit Lit:

Today in class, A block finished their Act 1 comic/storyboards. After, I asked you to cast Macbeth with modern actors, and discuss why each was selected.

I assigned 10 lines from Macbeth that you will need to memorize for this Friday. 10 points per line, and it is being counted as a test grade- so it should help you averages a bit :-)

Tuesday, we will be acting out Duncan's death scene outside- so please bring a sweatshirt. They are predicting a "return to Summer" but you know that the weather people do not always get it right.

Question: Why do you think that Shakespeare does not "show" Duncan's death? The same with the marriage of R & J....why does he leave out the seemingly most important scene in the play?
