Focus: When does ambition turn to greed? What are the consequences of greedy behavior?
1. Warming up with an explanation of your participation and presentation grades
2. Acting out Act 4
4.1: Figuring out Macbeth's final speech and understanding how he's changed
4.2: Figuring out why we see this scene and why we meet Lady Macduff
3. Viewing scene 3 (I don't show 4.1 and 4.2)
Mini lesson on foils:
A foil is a character who serves by contrast to highlight the opposing qualities in another character. For example, in Harry Potter, Malfoy serves as a foil to Harry Potter; while Malfoy is a bully who manipulates and hurts others, Harry is a hero who selflessly saves and protects others. They both, however, are able to using magic in cunning and powerful ways.
4.3: How does Macduff serve as a foil to Macbeth? Try to come up with at least two ways.
4. Talking it out with your grid groups
HW:

3. I know this sounds weird, but please bring an umbrella to class tomorrow.
