Brit Lit:

Today:

Journal Prompt:  Macbeth is about to get three new prophecies from the witches.  What three parts of the future would you predict?  How would each specifically impact the play?  1 page

I shared a link that was reported last night:

We took a quiz on act III.

We looked at act 3, sc 5 and debated whether Shakespeare wrote this scene.  Many believe that this was added to support the character on Hecate.

We read/acted act 4, sc1 and stopped before the moment of final suspense.

I broke you into small groups and asked you to make your own 2014 stew.  Each group needed 20 ingredients.

I made Friday as the optional 1st day to recite your learned Macbeth lines.  You may also go on Monday.  I introduced the Shakespeare challenge extra credit.  Please see me if you would like one for Thursday.  You may trade them, but if I give you one you need to at least try it.
