Class experience
US Grade 8 - 10
When three witches prophecize that Macbeth, a Scottish general, will become king of Scotland, Macbeth's wife convinces him to turn to violence. Follow Shakespeare's famous play of murder, deception, political ambition, and the unraveling of a nation as civil war breaks out as a result of Macbeth's actions! In this course, we will take the opportunity to read the play together (both in class as a read-aloud and outside of class as independent reading). I firmly believe that Shakespeare should...
Students will be able to identify, analyze, or apply the following concepts:
- Character Development

- Translate/Transcribe the PlayI have been teaching professionally for over 10 years in both Missouri and Colorado. I have been on Outschool for over three years and can provide links to classes where I teach the concepts of this semester-long class so you can look through them and look at the reviews to see how other parents and students have reacted to my courses. I am happy to answer any questions that you have!

Students will be asked to get a copy of the play. While there are many versions out there, this is the one that I recommend the most: Folger: https://www.amazon.com/Macbeth-Folger-Shakespeare-Library-William/dp/0743477103/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1NI7HA5797SN8&keywords=macbeth&qid=1695265461&sprefix=macbeth%2Caps%2C517&sr=8-3 No Fear Shakespeare: https://www.amazon.com/Macbeth-No-Fear-Shakespeare-William/dp/1586638467/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1NI7HA5797SN8&keywords=macbeth&qid=1695265461&sprefix=macbeth%2Caps%2C517&sr=8-5
Here is the Common Sense Media Review for the play. Please review and let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Note that this is for the movie and not the play, but the violence that is within the play is expressed clearly in this parental view and is something that we will address in class.
