Monday, December 10 ... Macbeth, Reflecting on Acts 1-3

• Consider the essential question of this unit of study ... Can you ever be too ambitious? ... and the events of the play through Act III.
• Today in class ... 
• Write a journal (250-400 words) within the time allowed.  It is due by the end of the period, so manage your time accordingly. Quiz grade.
• Can you ever be too ambitious?  Who is more ambitious, Macbeth or Lady Macbeth (Explain.)?  Who is more evil, Macbeth or Lady Macbeth?  Do you think that if Macbeth had let chance run its course that he would still have become king - or was his over-reaching ambition an unspoken part of the witches' prophecies?
• Tomorrow - Objective Test over Acts I-III ... be familiar with the events of our reading so far.  Study questions should guide your review - as well as being familiar with the characters (who they are ... what they do ... etc.)
