Is this a dagger which I see before me? This period’s work is to review the video explainer attached to this post and then complete a paragraph exploring the language Shakespeare uses to give us a deeper insight into Macbeth’s state of mind in Act 2, Scene I.
We’re meeting again today during our normal English period to read through your analysis paragraphs. Really looking forward to seeing you all and going through this great work.
