March 26th/27th

WELCOME BACK!!! 
The following work will span over the next two class periods. Because you are being given this time, I am expecting expansive work. 

1. By today, you should have finished the play. You will start on characterization studies of the major characters in Macbeth. You have done this similar process for Beowulf.   You will have two class periods (Monday and Tuesday) to work on this.

2. They will need to go through this process a minimum of two times with each of the characters. This information needs to go in their notes.

Characterization: The manner/method in which an author creates a character.
Asking HOW and WHY an author develops a character in the manner in which
it is created.

Method of performing characterization:

1. Carefully pick an adjective that you feel describes the character. Think to the personality
of the character, versus physical. (Often the physical description supports the personality
characterization).

2. Ask yourself why you named this characteristic....

3. What textual evidence supports the conclusion of this adjective. Multiple examples.
3 minimum. Have the quotations and the citation in your notes.)

4. Ask what is the reasoning that the author creates the character with this specific
personality trait?
How does it serve the meaning of the text? How is this character "working" for this text?

5. Rinse and repeat... pick another adjective. (a minimum of two adjectives per character).

You will be examining:

• Macbeth
• Lady Macbeth
• Banquo
• Malcolm
• Witches (3 collectively)

This needs to be COMPLETED by Thursday, March 29th when you come to class.

END OF TUESDAY: There are three questions to respond to on Google Classroom. Have this done by Thursday.

SOCRATIC SEMINAR ON THURSDAY over MACBETH. Bring 5 higher level questions.
