Macbeth Newspaper

This will be your final cumulative task where you’ll get to show what you’ve learned as a

class and make something you can share with the rest of the school. This is how we will answer

the question: “Why does Shakespeare matter?” for your peers. Your goal will be to share the

interesting and important facts, themes, and understandings you have found while reading

Macbeth; think about things like the blood count or sanity graph that we used as a class.

The format in which you choose to contribute to our class newspaper is up to you,

whether you write an article, create a picture/drawing, compose an interview, or anything else

that you feel should be included. The formatting for your contribution will not be graded, instead

I will ask you to submit a self-assessment to reflect on why you chose the format you did and

why it matters to the school community.
