Continuing Max's assigned work from his London school, we added to his notebook a list of Shakespeare's plays Max had heard of, a biographical paragraph about Shakespeare , and a paragraph defining poetry and the use of verse in Macbeth. Next, we added information about the historical sources of Shakespeare's plays noting that Holinshed's Chronicles is the source for Macbeth. We then discussed Act I scene (i) and prepared an outline for the next segment of the assignment: explain why the opening scene is effective. Max offered good ideas to incorporate into the paragraph which we included in the outline.
