Assignment #3: It's tragic!

For your first encounter with tragedy a la Shakespeare, and to make sure you have a truly cathartic experience, there are a few things you need to know.

Your groups will be responsible for researching the following terms:

Topics and Groups
1. Tragedy - Group 1
2. Pathetic Fallacy - Group 2
3. Hamartia - Group 3
4. Dramatic Irony - Group 4
5. The tragic hero - Group 5
6. Catharsis - Lady Mac

Requirements
1. Define the term.
2. Trace the term's roots (where did it come from? Who is responsible for the term/theory?)
3. How does it apply to Macbeth? NO SPOILERS PLEASE - (if it's going to ruin something - be very general - or pick another example)
4. Create one document for the group that covers 1, 2, and 3 today. Include hyperlinks to any good resources.

Next Monday
1. Each group will have 5 minutes to teach the class about your term (3 minutes presenting - 2 for questions). There will be some overlap of material - that is ok. You will have a test on terminology at some point during this unit, so you will need to know this information.

2. Following class next Monday, you will post your final points on your Plog.
