Mon. Quiz on Macbeth announced for Friday, 10/23. Also, students are to compose by Monday a draft of a commentary on a 35-40 line passage of their choosing. This draft will be reviewed in class, then revised and submitted for a grade.
In class, we read and discussed Act V of Macbeth.
Tues. Students planned "Actor-Director" skits, using very short passages from Macbeth to read once (incorrectly), then twice (after "direction"). Directors have wide latitude to discuss the reading generally (i.e. identify and encourage readings which match the subtext, mood, and motivation), and specifically (i.e. identify specific words or phrases which should be stressed, inflected differently, pace, etc...)
Wed. Students presented "Actor Director" skits.
Thurs. Students prepared for tomorrow's quiz by playing "Name that Quote," which allows participants to earn points by naming character, Act, scene, situation, and significance.
Fri. Following the quiz on Macbeth, students read a clozed outline while listening to a commentary on Macbeth 2.2.49-90. Discussion questions ensued focusing on the achievements of the commenter.
