This was the very quick task we did in class from your notes so far.

Make a table comparing ten factors.
Compare Antarctica and Australia.

adjective
Something with doubt about the authorship or authenticity.
Something probably not true.

eg. The story about Indiana landing the flight from Sydney was obviously apocryphal.

Assign percentages of blame for Duncan’s death and then Banquo’s death.

For example you might say

Duncan’s Death
Lady Macbeth 70%
Macbeth 20%
The Witches 10%

Banquo’s Death
Macbeth 50%
The Witches 25%
The Murderers 25%

Keep in mind that I have just up these percentages and they don’t reflect my sensible opinion.

The same exercise with 10.2

Some dormant for a long time.
Thousands of active
Dormant means that they don’t erupt
Ring of Fire

From 10.4

they can go off at any time.
They don’t erupt often.

The earth is not just a large ball of identical rock. Beneath our feet are a number of different layers and they behave differently. Once big difference between the surface and the layers below in that inside the earth high pressures and high temperatures are what is normal.

Here is a link to a lot more information to explain how this all works.

Structure of the Earth – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The interior of the Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The Earth has an outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous mantle, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core.

This is an old fashioned sounding word but a goody. It means a happy coincidence and is actually a contraction of happy circumstance.

For example. I didn’t have a word for today but by happenstance Mrs Fraser was just thinking of the world happenstance.

Here are the questions for this scene.

1. How old is the old man?
2. What did Duncan’s horses do?
3. What does this mean?

Today’s word of the day is a tricky one which is bad luck for you although not actually ironic.

Ironic means poignantly contrary to what was expected or intended.

for example

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn’t it ironic … don’t you think
Alanis Morrisette

I finally managed to get my Macbeth podcasts up to date today. If there is any luck left in thea quick run down of each scene so far I have it here in Red Space Rocket.
