1. Students wrote a short quiz on what they’ve read and watched so far with the play of Macbeth.
2. We read through the questions on Act III that they read together themselves. Students were given scene summaries with their handout package at the beginning of the play so after reading the play with their partner, they had the summaries to help make clear what had happened in each scene. (They were also reminded to use these prior to the quiz.)

1. We began the class with students writing down some quotes that I had put on the board. I showed them how exactly to reference Shakespeare quotes (very much like poetry) and explained that they should be watching for lines as we read that say something striking about the Human Experience, or Human Existance, the theme of this unit. The quotes written on the board were examples of quotes they could consider using for their departmental.
2. We continued listening/reading along with the cd as Hamlet begins his “mad” acting to trap the King into some kind of confession.

1. Students had very little reading to do to complete the script of Machomer. Once finished, we went to the projector room where students listened to some brief clips of the writer of the script performing it in the voices of the Simpsons.
2. Students then returned to the classroom and spent some time studying for tomorrow’s quiz or their chemistry.

1. Students had this class to begin reading Act III to themselves in pairs. They have the questions for each scene that they are to complete as they read along.
