Today, you went to the library and took out the play Macbeth. I then introduced Shakespeare, discussing his life and life in the Elizabethan era. I also discussed Iambic Pentameter, archaic words, and Shakespeare's methods of alterning word syllables (apostrophes: contractions). I then gave you an introductory sheet on Macbeth, which you are to have read for tomorrow.
