Today, instead of doing group discussion like I had
originally planned, I had the students partner up and then assigned each group
some scenes from Macbeth. There assignment was then to interpret the scenes,
write down a bullet point summary of what happened, and apply two literary
terms connected to the unit. Students worked surprisingly well, and while they
grumbled about the change of plans they were interacting with the text, working
through it, and understanding what was going on. The change plans forced them
to participate and learn something on their own, and more specifically without
me feeding them the answers.
