While in the lab to day this is what we will be doing:
On your personal blog please write and tell me everything you know about the play Macbeth. I can be what you have seen, heard, read, talked about etc. What questions do you have, what concerns do you have etc.
Continue to write what you know about Shakespeare. What plays (movie adaptations) have you read, seen, studied etc. What is your view on Shakespeare and why? I would like to know where you are coming from. What history do or do you not have with Shakespeare?
Once you have finished blogging on your personal blog, please go to the class blog Thisisdifficulttodecide and you and a partner are going to find sites that connect to and demonstrate our big ideas of loyalty, power, ambition, self worth, integrity and humanity (or lack of it) in Macbeth. You need to find an example for each term, post the link and explain why you chose the link. Explain why you feel it fits.

I know that MacBeth is a cursed play and saying it before a performance is by far the worst thing to do. I also know that MacBeth was a tragedy.

loyalty
Themes in MacBeth:

In Macbeth, ambition conspires with unholy forces to commit evil deeds which, in their turn, generate fear, guilt and still more horrible crimes.

More from Danny and Liz:
ambition
self explanit.
Integrity
chosen because lady macbeth is egging macbeth on, so that he'll murder the current King. He's not sure if he really wants to, but he doesn't want to seem any less of a man, and he wants to be King.
LOLOLOL
(>")>AmbiTioN

Macbeth is a cursed play and some people do not like to mention it
"The Power of Evil in Macbeth Evil is a destructive force; it causes harm to those who embrace it and their victims. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the protagonist Macbeth and Lady Macbeth fall into the hands of evil."

"In Macbeth, we see this from the very beginning with Duncan checking on his warriors (Macbeth and Banquo among others) against the traitor MacDonwald. The play begins and ends with a battle and a speech. After the war, Duncan addresses the people and rewards his loyal thanes with titles, land, jewels, recognitions, and publie praise."

"SELF WORTH: Macbeth feels that all his efforts have gone to waste because all the troubles that he has undergone are only going to benefit Banquo's children:"For Banquo's issue have I filed my mind."
