Max continued working on his Act I (i) Macbeth assignment during today's session. We first discussed Shakespeare's use of the" pathetic fallacy " or the weather in the opening scene to reflect mood and /or the ongoing battle referenced in the opening scene. Max then drafted full sentence answers to questions from his London school as to Shakespeare's dramatic technique in the opening scene, the function of the witches in Act I, and the use and significance of alliteration in the witches' incantations . We then reviewed Max's responses and discussed any needed clarifications or grammar/usage corrections. We completed the assignment today.
