 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Students will be taken to the world of Macbeth, learning about the play itself, Shakespeare, and the time period both are from. The students will explore the play through actually acting out the play, watching scenes from actual productions, and simple readings. They will also, by the end of the unit, understand the time Macbeth was written in, and why it was written in the first place. They will also place connections between the characters from the play and their real life counterparts, as well as the connection between the play and King James the First. In the unit, the students will also use technologies such as iMovie, Blogster, Prezi, GarageBand, Flash, and WikiSpaces. By the end of the unit, I hope that every student in the class will understand the play, as well as its importance in the English world. ||
