See "Macbeth" on the class website for your assignment and rubric handouts.

Homework:

1. Submit your practice analysis and commentary by e-mail to Mrs. Price during the break if you want me to evaluate it before you write your test. This assignment is optional and it is entirely for your own good. Make sure you include your name and "commentary for Miss. Malgeri" in the subject line. Please do not submit the commentary last minute on Sunday night, as it will be difficult for me to give you feedback on Monday if you do so.

2. Work on your Macbeth performance. Instructions and rubric for this assignment are also posted on the blog.
