I am out this morning - have a doctor’s appointment that I could not reschedule. But we will be doing the following in class today:
1st – 4th Periods (English IV)
All classes except 4th period have finished reading Act I of Macbeth and need to write a 200-300 word journal response to the following prompt:
Based on what you know from Act I, who is MOST responsible for Macbeth’s decision to kill Duncan so that he may be king – The Witches, Lady Macbeth, or Macbeth himself? Explain. Who is LEAST responsible? Explain. Be sure to use specific evidence from the play to support your point of view.
Write on your own notebook paper – it is due before you leave class today.
4th Period – finish reading Macbeth. They may use the laptops to refer to No Fear Shakespeare’s modern translation of the play – the link is on my blog at http://daviseng4.blogspot.com .. complete the Act 1 study questions as you read.

Students in all classes may listen to music as they work provided it does not become a distraction to them or other students around them.
