Today's presentations

What connected for you during the presentations?

For me, after watching all of the presentations, they all matched up and connected really nicely. It flowed. I liked how everybody presented their scenes differently, because then we got to see a lot of different good ideas and how they interpreted their acts.

What are you going to remember about the play from viewing the presentations?

After watching the presentations, I think I'm going to remember Act 1 the best. I think this because they put a lot of humor into it, so it was very memorable. I'm also going to remember Act 3, because it was the scene that my group did, and that we researched and acted out.

presentaions

from seeing five of the seven macbeth presentations (including mine) i rembered some of the funny scenes of the movies. Alex was quite funny, although slightly inappropriate it made me laugh.
I also gained an understanding of macbeth through a more comedic style of learning. It was interesting. I grew a better understanding of the acts.

Presentations

What connected for me during the presentations?

When the groups talked about how power corrupted the character's in the play, it was very easy for me to connect because I have focused a lot on this question during thia unit. It was easy for me to understand and connect to. I also feel that the Simpson's presentation was very easy to connect to because it is memorable and I have a background of watching the show on tv.

What will I remember abot the play from viewing the presentations?

I will remember the Simpson's presentation, I think that it will be easier to remeber act 4 because of the way that they presented the act. During this act Macbeth went back to the witches to see them for a second time. He was shown floating heads that continued to haunt him and lead him to go "insane."

Macbeth

Do you see Macbeth as a tragic hero or not? Please bring in specific evidence from the text, you can also connect it to parts of your presentation to help support your argument. Make sure you explain what a tragic hero is. How do our EQ’s connect to this as well?

Presentations

I'm going to remember the Simpson's version of Act 4 and Act 3 with the pictures and narrative because they were both different forms that I rarely see. The image of Banquo's dead body and expression stay in my mind, as well as the attack of the Crazy Cat Ladies. However, the most memorable act was Act 5 simply because I saw every scene being pieced together and coming up with our own interpretations of them. I now know the main points of Act 5 very well, as well as a little into the insight of Macduff's hatred of Macbeth.

-presentations =)

The presentations today varied from the old fashion acts to the technology of a video. But either way, I belive that they were all done very well. But as a student in a modern environment I belive I connected to the videos more rather than the acts. This is also because of the humor and also because they changed the characters to match our everday settings like instead of a king they changed it to a principal. From watching my peers present, I'm mostly going to remember the essential question: how does power corrupt? and how different intentions could indeed corrupt ones integrity and humanity. This play presented this question very well and made me understand Macbeth even better in a different way.

Presentations!!!

I thought the presentations were done very well. I thought the ones I learned the most from and could connect to were the ones with humor in them. I liked that some of the groups changed the setting and characters to make it connect more to us. By watching the other groups presentations I was able to further understand my own Act and could connect it to the rest of the play. For example, because many groups had the same essential questions as my group I could learn more about the and connect it back to my Act.

Presentations! =)

During the presentations, I think that I connected with the videos more than the old fashioned acting. I connected the rest of the acts to our act 3, and really understood how the 2nd and 4th act connected to ours. I will remember the most significant parts of the play such as King Dincan's murder, and Banquo's murder sue to my peers presentations. They really stood out to me while watching them. I am also going to remember how power corrupted Macbeth, and how the witches destroyed him...well I think that they destroyed him anyways. =)

~Krista

Thinking about the presentations in class

Please answer on the class blog or on paper for Fri:

What connected for you during the presentations? What are you going to remember about theplay from viewing your peers presentations today?

For our act, I have picked the two essential questions:

1) How does Power corrupt?
~ well in Act 3, it just shows how the more power Macbeth wanted and fastly got, the more it corrupted him to want more and more. he tried anything in his power to keep it, and he would have never had done the things he did before he talked to the witches.

2) How far are you willing to go to get what you want?
~ In this act is shows how Macbeth is willing to kill for the second time to get full power! He is trying to hard to keep his power, and not get told on by Banquo. I can't believe he actually killed him, and he even hired two people to do it! This king is willing to practicallyanything to get what he wants, and I think that's wrong!

Learning Log..

Learning Log..

How does power corrupt?
Power corrupted Macbeth into killing Duncan. He was so driven by the desired power that he was willing to go to extreme lengths to get it. What drove him to become power hungry was his wife. She put ideas in his head that changed him. A day before, Macbeth would not speak of the idea of killing the king and now he was considering it. By killing Duncan, gaining the title of king, and not getting caught, Macbeth was given an enormous boost. He now felt invincible and let power finally get to him and corrupt him.

How far is one willing to go to get what they desire most?
Macbeth was willing to kill to become the king. Not only, Lady Macbeth provoked Macbeth to kill Duncan because she was possessed by the mere thought of getting power.

How does power corrupt?

In the beginning of the play, Macbeth hears a prophecy that states that he is going to be the king, but Banquo is in the way of that prophecy. What Macbeth does is he orders 2 murderers to kill Banquo which is what happens in our Act, Act 3. In Act 3, after the murderers kill Banquo, Macbeth becomes king. And during the feast, Macbeth hallucinates and sees Banquo when he was already dead. From all the power that Macbeth gained and how he got there also connects to the other essential question: How far is one willing to “go” to get what they desire most? Because Macbeth went so far to get what he wanted, all that power that he gained is corrupting the way he thinks by hallucination and so he was very close at that moment to ruining his power therefore power does indeed corrupt.

-Stephanie

My EQs - J

What is humanity?

Macbeth shows that he is human by believing the witches' prophecy. It is in our human nature to believe the supernatural to some degree, most people still read their horoscopes, some people even go to see psychics. Even though we don't believe as strongly as it is shown in Macbeth it is still a form of humanity, it is who we are and what we believe.

How do we deal with conflicting elements within our personalities?

Macbeth deals with conflict by turning to his wife, when he didn't know what was the right thing to do, kill Duncan or not, he turned to his wife. His wife told him to kill Duncan so that is what he did. People usually turn to others when they have inner conflicts, it is our human nature. When people turn to others it gives them another point of view, in ways "the deciding vote", or the "tip of the scale."

Jessie

Connecting our acts. Act 3

How do you see your act connecting to at least two EQ with examples from the passage.

• What can destroy or build a persons self worth?

A lot of things can determine whether a persons self worth is very high, or very low. For example, in the play Macbeth, his self worth was high at the beginning, and then it dropped drastically. It was high in the beginning, because he was very confident in himself to kill the king(which happened in act 1) it dropped a lot in my act (act 3) when he saw the ghost ofBanquo at his dinner. He felt very guilty about his actions, thus causing him to make a huge scene in front of all of his guests. So lying and cheating can destroy a persons self worth, and accomplishing what you sought out to do, can build your self worth.

• How does one define a persons self worth?

A persons self worth, is defined by the person him/herself. Nobody else can tell you how to feel about yourself. Unless you have a very low self esteem, and you believe and listen to all the negative people tell you about yourself. In Macbeth, Banquo showed how high his self worth is, when he came back as a ghost to haunt Macbeth. If he didn't have a high self esteem as a human, he wouldn't have a very high one as a ghost. InMacbeth's case, he made his self worth very low, by all the wrong decisions and actions he has made, he has become to doubt and guilt himself. Not a very high self esteem I must say.

Loyalty.

Click me!

I chose this image because it reminds me of loyalty. This image helped me understand the BIG idea because it reminds me of kings and queens. They are very controlling but the people who stand below them, are very loyal to them. I think that loyalty is a very important part of life. If you want to earn someones respect and trust you have to prove it to them by being loyal.

Macbeth Group Assignment

ACTING OUT SHAKESPEARE 2009

Macbeth Group Scene Analysis

Select a group that you will work well with. This is a summative assignment (the marks count).

Before you present your act to the class, you need to give a plot summary and a description of the setting. Be sure to explain how your ACT is connected to the previous ACT.

Clearly identify all the characters and ensure that they are distinguishable throughout the presentation.

Reword your ACT and present it to the class, in a combo of modern English and Old English.(eg. All hail Macbeth).You want to make sure you maintain the integrity of the ACT. You are going to have to divide you act up into key scenes and find the key moments. You will all have to take on key individual parts. Together you will then showcase the ACT to the class. Some parts do need to be acted out.(If you do not want to do a live version, you can prerecord one). Ensure that you add life to your scene(s) and make them come alive. They do not need to be memorized, but I do not want any plays being used or full scripts. You may use cue cards and still receive full credit.

After you have presented you have to analyze your ACT. You need to explain the significance of your ACT in the play. What are the key issues, what are the characters talking about and why is that essential to the development of the plot. You also need to explain how it connects to one or more essential questions and why. You will keep a daily posting on your blog of your learnings. See handout for guidance.

Dimos and Ceana/Integrity

What is Integrity?
ACT1 SCENE3 ANGUS: Who was the thane lives yet, but under the heavy judgment bears that life which he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined with those of Norway, or did line the rebel with hidden help and vantage or that with both he labored in his country's wrack, I know not; but treason's capital, confessed and proved, have overthrown him.
I chose this passage because it shows how the thane of Cawdor had no integrity and committed treason against the crown which was punishable by death. It shows how even someone in a position of great respect and honour can do terrible things to get what they want, how someone who has everything can still want more. This part is relevant because not only does it show the beginning of the lose of integrity but is also begins the witch's prophecy making it a very big part in the play.

ryan and mitch's thing act 1 scene 2

Summary:

At a military camp near his palace at Forres, King Duncan of Scotland asks a wounded captain for news about the Scots’ battle with the Irish invaders, who are led by the rebel Macdonald. The captain, who was wounded helping Duncan’s son Malcolm escape capture by the Irish, replies that the Scottish generals Macbeth and Banquo fought with great courage and violence. The captain then describes for Duncan how Macbeth slew the traitorous Macdonald. As the captain is carried off to have his wounds attended to, the thane of Ross, a Scottish nobleman, enters and tells the king that the traitorous thane of Cawdor has been defeated and the army of Norway repelled. Duncan decrees that the thane of Cawdor be put to death and that Macbeth, the hero of the victorious army, be given Cawdor’s title. Ross leaves to deliver the news to Macbeth.

What Is Power?

This message connects to me personally, because the war is a very deadly thing that portrays countries actions. In this scene power is the act of winning a war by either killing the opponents or injuring them. War is a very powerful thing that can not just control a country or its actions but have a domino effect within the country. This wars domino effect was because the thane was defeated he had to die and that MacBeth could have his status. What is power? The ability to influence others either by being forceful or intelligent.

Jack and Ashley's Thing.

Banquo. [Aside of Macbeth]
That, trusted home,
might yet enkindle you unto the crown,
besides the thane of cawdor. But 'tis strange:
And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
the instruments of darkness tell us truths,
win us with honest trifles, to betray's
in deepest consequence.
cousins, a word, i pray you_

---------------------------------------------------

Loyalty : Banquo sounds like he has respect for Macbeth.
He is loyal to the man, and he's giving him wise decisions and opinions.

This passage reminds us of a day where our friend gave us advise on something we needed advise on. It's important to us because it shows how important it is to have a friend that can trust to help you through tough times you cannot decide on making important decisions.

Danica and I chose the scene where Lady Macbeth is angry with Macbeth for having second thoughts about Duncan's Murder. We thought Lady Macbeth's manipulation was really masculine. She even mentioned the lengths she'd go to, to get what she wants, which included an image of a baby. She referred to Macbeth as less of a man for having second thoughts and egged him on by lowering his self esteem.


We think Lady Macbeth's self esteem must be quite low, if she's unhappy with what she has to offer as a woman. She'd rather'd be a man, so she can go through with all the terrible things she wants to do so she can become more powerful. One of the underlying reasons people manipulate others is to subconsciouly or consciously gain acceptance of themselves, and in turn, a sense of power.

Does nature or nurture determine a person’s destiny?

Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,

The reason why i decided to choose this passage is because it caught my eye when Shakespeare used such powerful metaphors to emphasize the meaning of this passage. What really caught my eye was when he says: Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark. This caught my eye because in the medieval times God or religion was such an important part of those times and to do something that evil and using heaven as a reference is fairly risky. To me this part of the passage means that there are evil people in the world who really do kill to get what they desire most and they don't regret it because its what they want and nothing can stop them now because they killed them. I think that this is important because it shows that some people are mental and think that the only way to get their way is to get rid of the person to get what they want. This part is relevant to the play because it shows how evil and inhumane people could be to get what they desire most.
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,

Act 1, Scene 7 (Krista and Jessie)

The passage that we chose was from Act 1, Scene 7:

What beast was't, then,
That made you break this enterprise to me?
When you durst do it, then you were a man;
And, to be more than what you were, you would
Be so much more the man. Nor time nor place
Did then adhere, and yet you would make both:
They have made themselves, and that their fitness now
Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you
Have done to this.

Essential Question:

How does power corrupt?

We selected this passage because it stood out to us and caught our attention. For us this passage really shows peer pressure and this connects to us because we go through it every day without realizing it. We think that this passage is important because this is the start of Macbeth's need for power and corruption by power. It is also important because we see how Lady Macbeth is corrupted by power and then lead to reversed thinking. This shows how Lady Macbeth is evil and manipulative and inhumane because she believes that killing Duncan is alright. This really shows how power and humanity are connected because too much power can make people change perspectives and make them inhumane. This passage connects with the essential question because Lady Macbeth was presented with the thought of power (Macbeth becoming King) and then all she could think about was ways to make that happen.

Act I Selected Passage

Scene 3 when the witches tell Macbeth the prophecies. This passage set off the play as Macbeth has now got it in his mind to take the crown as his own. It foreshadows the rest of the story and makes the reader wonder if the prophecies will actually come true. Macbeth is shown to believe in witches and predictions of the future to be real, as was the norm of the time. Macbeth is also shown to be affected by the persuasion of others, as it was not originally in his mind to murder Duncan to become king. That thought was later planted in his head by the cunning words of Lady Macbeth, who truly wanted power. This meeting with the witches sets off a quest for power, in which the base for the essential question of How far is one willing to go to get what they desire most is set down to be addressed later. In conclusion, this passage sets the play in motion and the base from which ambition and desire for power is put down to be built on as the play goes on.

Sean, Ahmad, Aaron

Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 3 :D

"Does nature or nurture determine a person’s destiny?"

In Act 1, Scene 3, Macbeth discovers that it is his destiny to be king. After the weird sisters first prediction came true, Macbeth thought about the possibilities of he, himself becoming king.

MACBETH

(aside)      Two truths are told,

As happy prologues to the swelling act

Of the imperial theme. (to ROSS and ANGUS) I thank you, gentlemen.

(aside) This supernatural soliciting

Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill,

Why hath it given me earnest of success,

Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor.

If good, why do I yield to that suggestion

Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair

And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,

Against the use of nature? Present fears

Are less than horrible imaginings.

We chose this passage because we thought it was the "set up" for the rest of the story. It implies loyalty, power, self worth, humanity, integrity and ambition all in that one passage. Also the character of Macbeth shows some of these traits. He thought about his loyalty to the king, he thinks about the humanity of his thoughts (killing Duncan = inhumane), he's ambitious because he wants his social status to increase and also the passage shows his quick increase of power (Thane of Glamis - Thane of Cawdor - King?).

In relation to the question above, we think that if the weird sisters had not told Macbeth he was to be king, he owuldn't have thought it to be a possibility in the first place. This being said, nature or nurture does, in some way, determine a person's destiny.

I believe that in this photograph, there is loyalty, because the king and queen, respect the civilians in their town. So, the villagers portray their loyalty to the king and queen by bowing to them when they see them.

depending on the situation i would probably go far in terms of effort but not in terms of taking a life unless the situation called for it. right now all i want really bad is money and i would just work hard for it. i would never rob a bank or anything like that.

By Jessie

The differences you saw between the movie and the reading, scences 1,2,3.

What was easier and what was more challenging and why?

Which one do you think you prefer and why?

The differences I saw between the movie and the reading of Macbeth were the book describes more of what is happening, compared to the movie visually showing you everything with some of the important speech involved with it. In the book, although Macbeth was killing people he didn’t seem scared to die himself. When he killed someone in the movie he seemed more afraid and scared then how they portrayed him in the book. For myself I thought the reading was slightly easier because I could make up the scence in my head and picture how the characters are playing the roles. Although I did think that it was easy to have the scences acted out right infront of you in the movie. You got to see more of the characters and how their emotions came out. For example, how Macbeth killed the king and how in the movie he seemed very nervous. I think I prefer the movie because it is way more interesting and easier to understand their speeches. Also, in the movie they act out more of the book then actually saying it. Reading the book you have to focus more on the words. In the movie you get to listen aswell as focus on the scence and the visual part. You can look at the characters and their faces when they are doing things.(Macbeths face and how he felt when he killed the king.) The movie is all infront of you and you just watch and listen to the dialects. The book you have to understand the words and the way they speak.

Reason: This document shows how Macbeth acts towards other characters and how his integrity slowly erodes.
Self-worth
Reason: During the play, Macbeth feels that his efforts are useless and that it wasn't worth trying at all. The square tire represents wasted efforts.

Ambition: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/english_literature/images/mcbth_small_035.jpg This picture represents ambition because the man is trying so hard to be king. You can see him reaching for it, and he is ambitious.

Power: http://falconlit.com/web/webquest/macbeth/macbeth_pic.jpg In this picture it's showing that the crown, which is the king holds all of the power, even if that means to kill.

Loyalty: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/english_literature/images/mcbth_small_123.jpg In this picture, he has betrayed by killing. This means that he has lost his loyalty.

Integrity: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTzrJ9yksEWtmdCViYqVKYBqyT6mbAMw0C3P1UWkqu62fgIjLPmO0ZKVcjcUKDVw6Iw14yco49XxdFcLEBG_1HKD0DlRrR66Ej6n7ePvR010rwD3tCkm0hZgurS7poIHBRTh9_C6QHrNg/s400/Macbeth6.jpg This picture shows integrity because is has people killing others, therefore losing the self integrity with doing the right thing.

Examples from Macbeth relating to our Big Ideas.

Power We chose this video because it shows how king has complete control of his soldiers and they are fighting for him. Battle For Power

Loyalty This Picture shows how these people are ready to fight in battle and risk their lives for their king. Loyal to Fight for Their King

Humanity Horrors of Humanity In this video, it shows how humanity can be very inhumane. Just like the wars and fights in Macbeth. We kill each other and we have enemies. Humanity is not supposed to exist for war, or for taking the lives of others. We are humanity, but we are also destroying it.

Self Worth King has Self Worth This is a picture of the king in Macbeth. Kings must always have confidence and high self esteem in order to make decisions without doubting themselves.

Ambition Death from Ambition This picture symbolizes the lives that were taken from many people. Macbeth's ambition to become king ruled his actions and led to murder. Many people died and were killed because of his ambition.

Integrity Integrity Macbeth lacked integrity because he didn't do the right thing and make the right choices. He was controlled by greed and the desire to be powerful.

Friday Oct 9-Welcome to Macbeth

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.

Let's practice learning what we were taught today...linking

Connection to Big Ideas

Select a visual or a quote or whatever, create a link to it.
 It can be the one you have already used on your personal blog.
(It does not have to be what you presented on). We are now sharing with the class.
Then tell your classmates and me why you selected it. What does it mean to you and how did it help you understand your big idea.Here is my sample on POWER

I selected this one because you think I have the power. I have the ideas but when it comes to computer tech and this media literacy you as a class have the POWER to teach each other, myself included. Together we can share our knowledge(which is a form of power) and have a great learning experience. Thanks to Liz for showing us how to html.

Blogging info

Hi

I was able to see that 13 of you were able to add me on as authors. I either responded to your blog as a comment or I made a  new entry once I figured out how to do that.  If you did not receive a comment from me you need to add me on as an author. You need to go under settings and then under permissions and then add me as an author. mscenglish@gmail.com Please do this immediately.

Those blogs will be our journals and this blog is our class blog where everyone will be able to see what you are posting. I just want you to be clear on the difference.

Mrs. C
