We are going really well with Macbeth and have finished reading Act I. I should add that I am really impressed with how well people are reading this difficult text aloud. With time we should inject a bit more drama into this reading but for a starting point this is really good.

If you missed class you can always read the notes about these scenes on the wiki.

And, of course, if you still need help with your questions for these scenes just ask me and I’m happy to help.

You have this session to continue this task and then it needs to be completed as homework.

By now you have watched Macbeth: Shakespeare Retold and have been the introduction. You should be starting to get the hang of the basics of this story.

On your page below please tell as much of the story as you know. Write this as a proper story and in full sentences. Feel free to make up detail to improve your story. This is not meant to be the same as the published play.

If you need some help remembering names and events you can see the slide pack at W:\Barton Resources\Mr O’Meara\Year 10 English

Some of you seemed interested in Nostradamas. Here is a little information about him.

Michel de Nostredame (14 December 1503 or 21 December 1503[1] – 2 July 1566), usually Latinized to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous world-wide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties, the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted an enthusiastic following who, along with the popular press, credit him with predicting many major world events.

In contrast, most academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus’s quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power. Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus’s quatrains specifically enough to allow a clear identification of any event in advance.
