January 6 ... Macbeth Act 4


TODAY ...

You will read the relatively short 4th act of Macbeth on your own and answer the study questions.  FINISHED OR NOT, you will turn your study questions in before you leave.  It's short enough that most of you should be able to finish today - questions will be returned on Monday and we will discuss them in class.  Quiz over Act IV on Tuesday.

You may use the textbooks to read the play - but many of you will be more successful using No Fear Shakespeare as a resource.  Click the link below to go to Act 4, Scene 1 of Macbeth...

You should get a copy of the questions to work on - however, if for any reason you do not, the questions are posted below as well.  It's a short act ... and a fairly simple one.  Do the best you can with it and we will review it on Monday to make sure everyone is on the same page.
