Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
In this one-time class, learners will be introduced to The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. 
Many students struggle to understand and comprehend Shakespeare's classic plays. This interactive class will provide students an opportunity to thoroughly grasp the premise of the play, so they will be able to further analyze the literature. 
To begin the class, learners will complete an anticipation guide that overviews the main themes throughout the tragedy. After discussing and sharing their responses, learners will be introduced to the playwright--William Shakespeare. This will lead to a summary of the play which will provide learners the necessary comprehension skills to analyze the literature further. Students will be provided time to ask me questions that they may be struggling with as it pertains to The Tragedy of Macbeth.
To conclude the lesson, students will complete a Kahoot to prove they understand the play. 
Disclaimer- this class does include spoilers of the play, but no prior knowledge is needed.

Learning Goals

By the end of class, students should be able to fully comprehend The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. This will be proven by passing a Kahoot challenge.
