In order to understand many of the references in Macbeth, it's important to take a closer look at both the life and times of the 'real' Macbeth, and Shakespeare's world.
Groups and Topics
1 Raphael Holinshed's Chronicle of Scotland
2 Political and Social world of England in 1606
3 The History Play vs. Tragedy
4 Views on Witchcraft (at the time of Macbeth and at the time of Shakepeare)
5 Women - in the real Macbeth's time and in Shakespeare's day.
Requirements
1. Search for reliable resources on your topic.
2. In point form, introduce specific and significant points from the resources. Each group member should submit 2-3 valid points (with their initials after each point - in parentheses).
3. Merge points into one document. Post your group's research on the Plog at the end of class. Be sure to include links to the sources.
For Next Thursday
1. Read at least one posting from each topic.
2. Make one connection between your group's posting, and a different topic. Include your name in the post.
