We are finished reading the famous Macbeth play! Great work to all those who participated so fully in dramatic readings and mini performances! Today's talk show panels were hilarious:)
As promised in class, here are some HINTS for your Macbeth unit test tomorrow! It is mostly multiple choice and True/False, with a few short answer. You will be starting the in-class essay outline tomorrow after the test, and writing the essay IN CLASS on Friday
TEST HINTS:
1) Know all the characters - major and minor, such as Lennox, Ross, Doctor, and Porter.
2) Know the chronological order of events, such as battle scenes, and titles awarded to Macbeth
3) Know what Macbeth was at the beginning of the play - (Answer: A successful general)
4) Differentiate between the two brothers Malcom and Donalbain
5) SOME quotes include: " My hand are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white"
- "Where we are, there's daggers in men's smiles"
- "It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood"
- "Most royal sir, Fleance is scap'd"
6) Review the terminology from the start of this unit, such as Exposition, Exciting force, Climax, Catastrophe, and the different between concealment, aside and soliloquy.
An excellent idea to also go over and review ALL the quizzes from each Act which have been handed back to you:) GOOD LUCK!
*** Also PLEASE Start thinking about which scene(s) from Macbeth you and your group members would like to re-enact this weekend...and I will be giving your the criteria for performances on Monday! Also a reminder that Mrs. Crosby will be visiting our class on Monday to guide us through Acting 101 tips for you to have the best performances possible:) ****
