My Project

Murder, greed, ambition, and fear. Sounds like the ingredients for a good movie, right? These ingredients also make for an excellent book. They are the key elements of William Shakespeare's brilliant dramatic tragedy, Macbeth.

My high school students have not yet been exposed to the greatness of William Shakespeare.

I plan to introduce my students to Shakespeare this school year through his most accessible play, Macbeth. My students will love the complexities of the play's characters and the study of kings and witches.

For this proposal, I am requesting copies of Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth for my students to read. We will spend six weeks in class reading, analyzing, annotating, and acting out the play. By providing students with their own copies of the play, they will be able to make annotations as they read—a valuable skill that encourages critical thinking and allows students to make deeper connections to the text. With their own text, my students can see themselves as scholars studying important literature. I have also requested several plastic swords and crowns to use as we act out parts of the play, as the best way to understand and experience Shakespeare is on your feet.

Reading this play will prepare my students for college by giving them the skills needed to handle complex works of literature and the cultural capital needed for advanced study and the world beyond.
