SEMESTER TEST REVIEW HERE! Tuesday: Your Friday Macbeth Challenge is due today at the beginning of class. We will finish Macbeth on Tuesday and test over it along with the semester exam Friday or Monday.

Wednesday-Thursday WATCH TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

= MACBETH! = Review Macbeth with the PowerPoint we used throughout the play:

Dear Sophomores: I am at the state track meet this afternoon. Your assignment is here: Some of the tasks require you to find lines in the play of Macbeth. This link ([|SHAKESPEARE SEARCH]) will be helpful. Remember to set the "play searched" as Macbeth to limit the results. Have a good day! If you somehow manage to finish your assignment before the hour is up, you may play Free Rice (link is on our web page, or type in freerice.com). You may leave your completed work with the sub, or bring it to class with you on Tuesday!

A GENTLE REMINDER: The substitute will report to me if students are off task, bothering others, too loud, etc. I will subtract points for any infractions. MsB
