Is this a dagger I see before me...?

Good morning, Noblemen and women of Scotland! So much has happened, and so many... interesting decisions have been made. If you did not have time to complete Wednesday's assignment, please finish that assignment before you move on to this assignment. (Scroll down to see previous entries and assignments.)

Your assignment for Friday is as follows: Please write a blog entry of two paragraphs.

Paragraph one should discuss the events of the play so far. Paragraph 2 should be YOUR character's reaction to those events, and a prediction about what they hope or think about the future.

Once you have written both paragraphs, please comment on a minimum of THREE different blogs. Then respond to comments on YOUR blog. Don't forget to share the love (it is Valentine's Day, after all) and visit some blogs you haven't previously visited.

Because this is an interactive blog and part of the modern world of communication, find a meme that fits the events so far and include it in your blog post.

Act 1 Assignment

Students:

Your assignment today has two parts: post and comment.

1. Post: Look at the events of the FIRST act, through the start of scene 5 of Macbeth. Blog about those events as if you were either 1) there, or 2) heard about it from someone else. Remember that some events NO ONE except the few involved would know about. For instance, ony Macbeth and Lady Macbeth can blog about their plan to kill Duncan. The rest of you can blog about common events like: the traitorous Thane of Cawdor; the fact that Macbeth becomes Thane of Cawdor; the events that take place in the king's castle; etc. What would you say as that character? What would seem to make sense to that character? What events seem weird or unusual? Write and post, and don't forget to give your post a title.

For bonus points, include some sort of an (appropriate) image that fits with the events your character is familiar about.

2. Comment: When you finish your posting, look at a few other blogs. Read their posts. Post a comment. Remember that if they talk about an event your character technically knows nothing about, you should be confused by this. You should comment on at least two other blogs, or more if you choose.
If you notice that one blog is getting a lot of comments, comment on a different blog also.
Consider commenting specifically on the entries of those you are connected to, either by marriage, birth, or profession.

First Assignment

Good morning! Your assignment, should you choose to accept it (and you will), is to personalize your blog. The last student who used it left it the way they wanted it, and they may not have had the best interpretation. Feel free to change:

1. Blog title (we should still be able to tell whose blog it is)
2. Profile information
3. Profile picture
4. Theme

All other parts of the blog should remain AS IS. The window for these changes is 24 hours before I lock the blogs and the only changes you will be able to make will be adding blog posts. 

Use your Dramatis Personae and the textbook for any information you may need. Have fun and try to make it reflect your character!
