Take on the role of a teacher who is helping students understand Macbeth.

Choose
one scene from the play and create 12 to 18 annotations, or explanatory notes, to
explain the meanings of words and figurative language and to analyze the poetic
structure. Then write one or two conclusion paragraphs explaining how
Shakespeare's language supports the tone and character development in the scene.

Your assignment should include the following elements:

 Annotations that explain unfamiliar words and expressions in a scene from

Macbeth, including the pronunciation and origins of at least two words

 Annotations that describe the meaning of the figurative language in the same
scene from Macbeth

 Annotations that show the meter of three to six lines of the scene

 A paragraph or two examining the development of one of the scene's characters

and the scene's overall tone

You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one.
If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:

  Did I make 12 to 18 footnote annotations to help students understand one scene
from Macbeth?

 Did I define several difficult words and provide pronunciation and historical
information for some of them?

 Did I explain the meaning of figurative language used in the scene?

 Did I analyze the poetic structure of three to six lines of the scene?

 Did I write one or two conclusion paragraphs describing the tone and character
development, backing up my points with evidence from the language I described
in my annotations?

 Did I revise for clarity and correctness?

Use this rubric to determine how well you're meeting the criteria for the assignment.
