Bring in your own version of your team's discussion. BRING a physical copy into class. Have ready to heand in all pre-writing and your list of pieces of evidence.

due Thursday 12/10

1. Your non-evil spell.

2. Macbeth 5.1 including reading journal.

due Tuesday 12/8

1. Change of plan: you don't yet have to read Macbeth 5.1, reading journal.

2. Continue to work on list of ten physical nouns of one syllaboe, five ___ of ___'s, and five apostrophe's ("baboon's blood") for your non-evil spell.

due Wednesday: write a spell of at least two stanzas using some of the words you came up with. Lines should be four beats (seven or eight syllables). There should be a two-line refrain, four beats (7-9 syllables) that rhymes.

3. Take one of your image categories, and write a complete sentence in which you describe what's happening in the pattern. Try to include three or four nouns. For example,

"In Macbeth, most, but not all, of the references to children, something is going wrong, suggesting that something is going deeply wrong in the world." (nouns: Macbeth, children, going wrong, world).

Do this for three other image categories.

due Friday 12/4

1. Read Macbeth 4.1, reading journal.

2. Write down your gravitas claim (your x), your religio claim (your y), and then attempt to combine them into one combined claim (your z). Email this information to me. (If there's a computer problem, print or write it out). If you have already emailed me your evidence and your discussion as to why one piece of evidence was the strongest, etc., you don't need to copy your evidence.

HOWEVER, if there is better evidence in Lavinia for your combined claim than what you have already, find it and include it with your claim.

due Thursday 12/3

1. Read Macbeth 3.6 (all) and do a four-part reading journal.

2. (a) After you finish your discussion of why your evidence should be in which order, and have emailed it to me, go back to that discussion.

(b) Underline important nouns. Remember the example of love, connection, confusion in Maddie's. With your partner, figure out a claim based on those nouns for gravitas. Do the same for religio.

(c) Have one person on your time write out the claim and quote the three pieces of evidence for gravitas and email it to me; the other person on the team should doe the same for gravitas. If something goes wrong with the email, print it out or write it out and hand it in in class.
