Introduction
Macbeth
is a classic play written by William Shakespeare in the early 1600s. This is one of his most well-known tragedies. Understanding his works also helps us understand the history of the time period, as he was highly influenced by Elizabethan culture: the politics, the arts, religion, and the people, in general. Macbeth
is well-known and has been reproduced in many formats throughout the centuries since it was written. Film versions have ranged from a classic in 1948, which was true to the original text, to more modern films in 1971, 1978, to a more modern version in 2007, starring Sam Worthington. What can we learn from a play written so many centuries ago? Throughout this lesson, students will learn the various lessons Shakespeare attempted to portray in his story of star-crossed
lovers and how these lessons are still relevant today.
Lesson Plan Format
Shakespeare as a man, poet, and writer is significant. He was highly influenced by what was happening around him in Elizabethan England. During each session, students will read portions of the play, look at historical context for what was written, delve into the various controversies that surround William Shakespeare and how these relate to his writings and the world today.
Students should have a copy of Macbeth
to read and work with. If they do not, the following online resources can be used to read the text. Also, encompassed here are books and online resources the teacher can use in presenting the lessons:

Writer’s Journal
Writers have been using journals to keep track of daily activities, their thoughts, their inspirations, and their life questions for as long as there has been the written word. Journals can be used for free-writing or to facilitate classroom discussion. They can be a way for students to discover what they know and don’t know about a subject. Journals are also perfect for students who may be too shy to speak their thoughts and opinions aloud.
These journals will be used to answer specific writing prompts, complete class and homework assignments, including drawings and writings, and also for a way to communicate with their teacher any questions that may arise as they work through the lessons.
