ELA B10: May 23 Act I sc 7 reading, questions, and video…
- Students started by looking at the irony in yesterday’s final scene, scene 6. As the characters Duncan and Lady Macbeth went on about how beautiful the weather and surroundings were at the Macbeth castle, all these fair compliments and prospects, the foul reality of Duncan’s fate and Macbeth’s pursuit for the throne are very opposite.
- We read through scene 7 quickly, discussed the answers to the questions together, and had a discussion of whether students believed Macbeth was the one determined to go through with the murder or whether Lady Macbeth was more a force in it. Students seemed to agree that Lady Macbeth is more to blame.
- We moved to the projector room to begin watching the video up to the end of Act 1.
