Acting out 1.3 & Watching beginning of movie

I can...rehearse and finalize my presentation of Act 1 Scene 3 of Macbeth.  I can be an attentive audience while others preform.  I can make note of differences in translations among each group in an exit ticket.

I can...work and communicate in a small group.  I can ask questions of my peers first and my teacher next if I have confusions.  I can be strive to be comfortable being uncomfortable with Shakespearean language.

Step 1: Find your group!

Step 2: Break down into teams of 2 or 3 and decide on chunks of play you'll "make modern"

Step 3: Write a script with pen and paper for your designated chunk.

Step 4: 10:00--wrap up, have Ms. Peterson make master script.

Step 5: Practice!  Look at handout for what you must include.

Act 1, Scene III: Making it your own!

I can...begin to get the gist of Macbeth by holding onto the pieces I do understand.  I can try to put the text into my own words without the help of technology.

Reading Act 1.3 out loud for the second time!  Begin to answer some comprehension questions along the way.  Keep notes in the margin of your sheet.
