Pass out lines from MacBeth . Students take turn reading a line from the play. After each line is read, the class discusses the meaning of the line. Divide the class into three groups. Assign each group a scenario to be acted out in front of the class.
Groups perform their skits.
Discuss how the action and language of MacBeth have been covered. This introductory lesson will be assessed informally. As the MacBeth unit progresses, many formal assessments will be given. This initial lesson will be assessed according to student participation and involvement. Each student engaged in class discussion and the assigned group activity will receive ten points for the day.
