Thematic Schematic

What Comes to Mind? As you view each of the following images, take notes on a sheet of paper about what comes to mind as you see each image. You should write down what the image is and what immediately comes to mind. While you should not spend a lot of time analyzing each image, you should have SOMETHING of significance to write down for each. (In other words, “nothing” or “IDK” will not be acceptable responses.) Leave a second column or space available for each image for something you will be asked to write down later.

Suggested Format - You may want to set up your paper in this way: Image 1 st Response 2 nd Response Description:

“Macbeth” lyrics by John Cale Welcome home Macbeth It's been a long long time And everyone knows you're here It's easy to see they care Banquo's been and gone He's seen it all before He took it and then he did walk it He shook it and then he did rock it And you know it's true You never saw things quite that way She knew it all And made you see things all her way Somebody knows for sure It's gotta be me or it's gotta be you Come on along and tell me it's alright It's alright by me Alas for poor Macbeth He found a shallow grave But better than a painful death And quicker than his dying breath

Making Connections… Now that you’ve responded to each image, go back and think about how each image AND YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE IMAGE can connect to anything happening in Macbeth. Write down your thoughts in the space or column you left blank for each image. You may have similar connections for multiple images.

Example Image 1 st Response 2 nd Response Description: Bloody handdeath, murderMacbeth wants to kill Duncan; Lady Macbeth has the bloody plan

Pair-Share 1.With a partner, discuss your reactions and connections to the images. 2.With your partner, categorize the images and your thoughts into groups according to MAJOR THEMATIC TOPICS. For instance, the bloody fingers and the arm with veins could both be categorized under the topics blood or bloody or perhaps death or murder. Several other images might fall under the thematic category of guilt. What other thematic categories do you find? 3.Groups of four: Once you have a list of several topics, join another pair and compare your lists.

CCSS ELA-Literacy RL Determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to produce a complex account; provide an objective summary of the text. Assignment: Look at the text of Macbeth. Choose ONE thematic category, for which you will find a series of TEN quotes (at least two per act) that support your thoughts for that thematic idea. You will need to explain how each selected quote SUPPORTS the theme and BUILDS upon another theme (ambition) throughout the play. You should have about 2-3 quotes per act & therefore quotes with explanations by the end of the play. Begin by identifying quotes to support ONE theme (besides ambition) in ACTS I & II. Your first set of quotes for Acts I & II is DUE FRIDAY.

Quick Write: Choose ONE & respond 1.Write a time when you got away with doing something wrong. Did you feel guilty about it? Would you rather have been caught? How did you feel? What would you do if you were in that situation again? Did you have any outside influences other than your own longing, will, or desire? 2.Write about a time when you did something wrong but did NOT get away with it. Did you feel guilty about it? Were you eventually glad you got caught? Did you have other outside influences other than your own longing, will, or desire? 3.Write about a time when you knew someone else did something wrong and got away with it. Did they feel guilty about it? Did you? What did you feel? What did you do? What would you do if you were in that situation again? Did they have outside influences in committing their wrongdoing? If so, what were they?
