TUESDAY
Introductory letters returned today--they were lots of fun to read, and I'm really impressed by the rich and varied experience of the sophomore class!

Macbeth background work in the library--
Students received a brief research topic, learned of a few specific resources from Mr. Schadt, and had time to find material and record both sources and notes on a handout. There will be time tomorrow to finish up, and then to meet in groups with other people who had your same topic.

Homework:
Read the general Shakespearean material in your textbook, pp. 762-768. Don't go on to p. 769 (unless you're simply interested!) because that part refers to Julius Caesar and we'll be reading Macbeth.

This material will be on a future quiz (I'll let you know when), but you don't have to bring your book to class for a while. You will receive a separate text for the play on Thursday.
