Brit Lit:

Today:

A+C:  Journal prompt:  Ben Franklin said that if you ever want to see a persons true character, all you needed to do was give them a little power and see what they do with it.  Please describe a situation in your life when a person changed (+ or -) due to the power given.      1 page.

We took a quiz on Act 1.

We imagined what Facebook would have been like 400 years ago.  I broke you into groups of 2 and tasked you with making a fictional Facebook page for any character in Macbeth.

Time was again given for you to recite the ten lines.  You continue to lose 10 points each late day....This is a test grade.

We continued Act II.

B Block:  We watched a 12 min video:  Why Shakespeare?

We took a quiz on the notes that I gave you yesterday.  Reminder, during our study of Shakespeare, you can use all notes/hand outs.

You were each given a random line from one of his plays.  Each row was given an emotion and asked to read the line with this feeling. 

We continued act I and met Macbeth.

Many of you smiled and laughed at Shakespeare....just sayin.....

HW: Study your ten lines for Friday.  Test Grade
