Yes - literally Macbeth was finished in Shakespeare's play, as his
greedy reign came crashing down to a tragic end....but now our English 11
Macbeth unit is finished too!
Generally, I was very impressed with the effort that was
put forth in the performances today! You have all experienced the difficulty of
interpreting a script, memorizing lines, and/or translating to a more modern
version, but you seemed to have fun the whole time:) Imagine how real actors
must have to memorize and rehearse for weeks and months when they are filming
movies!??!
Some very creative plays today, and the audience was engaged,
which means success! You should all be proud of yourselves for the hours of
effort, tweaking and improving, and acting that you demonstrated
today:)
For tomorrow we will begin the movie (new version) of Macbeth, so
that you can view it in a hollywood movie version. So enjoy a couple of days of
seeing the play that you have studied for a month, depicted on a screen:)
We will begin Short Stories and Media next week!
Your interim
report card comments and Work Habits have been entered also, which will reflect
your effort and achievements currently in English 11.
