Macbeth and Outside Reading

Next week's Macbeth quiz schedule is on the previous BLOG POST. We finished reading Macbeth this week (due Block Day).THEREFORE...THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO WORK ON READING YOUR OUTSIDE READING BOOK.

The homework suggestion from earlier this week was to take your OR book and look at the number of pages in the book. We looked at a calendar and the due date for the OR Report (not the Annotated resource list part) is April 4th. That was about 40 days. I suggested you divide the number of pages by the number of days you needed to read or by weeks and set small goals. This is the ONLY NON-READING week we'll have until the report is due. It's built in so you get a good start on the book.

The week of March 7th we'll look at Sonnets by Shakespeare.

Monday March 14th we'll have a Macbeth/Shakespeare test. The play itself, poetry and historical context will be covered on the test. Format: Multiple Choice and Essay.
