Macbeth

For the Macbeth Unit, you will be responsible for several items. Besides reading, you will respond daily to the progression of the play. For this you will complete daily reading observations, in class active reading questions, act quotes and act applications.

You will use this packet for the following:

Reading Observations:

On the day of each reading, you are to bring the following:

1)an observation about something from one of the scenes and why you found it interesting

2)a short quote from the text that you found interesting and a brief explanation why (and yes, you must copy the quote with parenthetical documentation – Act, scene, line – e.g. I, ii, 25-26)

3)a question you have about what is going on.

These will be checked off for completion at the beginning of class. Later they will be used as a way to jump-start class discussions. Use this as an opportunity to clarify anything that you find confusing in the text before you are forced to move on. This is your chance to impact what we talk about and how much you personally get out of this unit, so please make the most of it.

Although these will not be fully assessed for quality until the end of the unit, each day’s observation must be checked off when due in order for it to be assessed at the end of the unit.

Act Active Reading Questions:

During the class period when we are listening to the performance of the play, we will stop and discuss important issues. During this time, you are to answer the active reading questions with appropriate responses.

These will be checked off for completion at the end of each act and will be instrumental in preparations for the act applications and the final essay.

Although these will not be fully assessed for quality until the end of the unit, each act’s questions must be checked off when due in order for it to be assessed at the end of the unit.

This packet will be turned in and completely assessedwith your in-class essay on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2016.

On particular due dates, you will have the following on your own paper to submit:

Act Quotes:

Upon completion of each act, you are asked to select three (3) quotes that you think are significant in helping understand the following motifs:

nature of man (inherent human traits/characteristics)/manhood

views of fate (predestination vs making one's own)

views on life (& how this dictates the way one lives)

power (gaining it and the effects of having it)

By the end of the play, you must address all of these with at least 1 quote.

You will turn in the following for each due date, typed:

1)a copy of your quote and where it is found

2)a paraphrase of the quote (put it in your own, non-Shakespearean, words)

3)a paragraph on the context of the quote (what is going on?)

4)a paragraph on the significance of the quote (why is it important for your essay?)

Example:

MOTIF: Power

1) Captain – Act I, scene ii, lines 36-41

If I say sooth, I must report they were

As cannons overcharged with double cracks,

So they doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe.

Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds

Or memorize another Golgatha,

I cannot tell –

2) If I tell the truth, Macbeth and Banquo were like battle cannons that attacked their enemies with so much force that I don’t know if they wanted to just win the battle or commit a massacre

3) This is the still the beginning of the play. The audience is learning that Scotland is at war and that one of its chief warriors is Macbeth. The captain is reporting what he saw on the battlefield. He tells that Macbeth was the man who turned the tides in favour of the Scottish and that he was instrumental in the defeat of the Norwegians.

4) Here the captain’s report tells of the power that Macbeth is able to harness when called upon to do so. He is fighting for the Scottish which is lucky for them. The brutality he brings into war, however, could possibly foreshadow how violent Macbeth can be when trying to get what he wants and show dominance over others. He seems to have no conscience and will stop at nothing to win or gain power.
