  1. Macbeth April 26 • Look at the character list a the beginning of the play. Create a family tree that explains the relationships of the characters.

  2. Listen to 1.3 and 1.4 1.3 Soon after the three witches prophesy that Macbeth will be the thane of Cawdor, Ross and Angus arrive with the news of Macbeth’s new title. Macbeth then contemplates the witches other prophecies: That Banquo will be the father of kings, and that Macbeth will be king

  3. Listen to 1.3 and 1.4 1.4 Duncan announces that his son Malcolm will be heir to the throne (Prince of Cumberland) and says that he will spend the night at Inverness, Macbeth's castle

  4. Listen to 1.3 and 1.4 In your journals • The prophecies given to Macbeth and Banquo suggest incredible possibilities for their future--- How do both men react to this knowledge? Be very clear about what is different between Macbeth’s reaction and Banquo’s. • Towards the end of the scene, Macbeth settles on how he will react to the new that he is destined to become king. What lines does he speak that show how he feels about the chance of becoming king, and what do they mean? Do you know what he’s going to do next?

  5. Denotation/Connotation • Yes, this is a review • Create a list of synonyms for each word: • Thin, woman, man, baby • Now, write synonyms for fair and foul

  6. Stress and Inflection Stress and inflection is all about how we read a line. • Stress-the relative force with which a sound or syllable is spoken • Inflection- a change in pitch or tone of voice KEY IDEA: how we say a line changes what it means

  7. Stress and Inflection • Stress-the relative force with which a sound or syllable is spoken Think about the “Is that your sandwich” exercise. • “He was a gentleman on whom I built an absolute trust” • Now listen as I stress a different word. How does the meaning of the sentence change with the different stressed words? KEY IDEA: how we say a line changes what it means

  8. Stress and Inflection • Is the execution done on Cawdor? • Inflection: a change in tone or pitch • Tone rises as you read (question) • Tone falls as you read (statement) • Pause…

  9. What about non-verbal communication? • Is the execution done on Cawdor? • What meaning is implied without words

  10. Body language tips from Forbes.com • Arms folded across your chest is often seen as a defensive posture or, at best, as reserved and uninterested in the conversation. • -- Standing with your hands in your pockets suggests a lack of confidence or unease. • -- Sitting with legs crossed while shaking one leg or wiggling a foot suggests nervousness or severe discomfort. • -- Staring blankly at the floor suggests a profound lack of interest in the conversation. • -- Rubbing or touching your nose during a response suggests that you're not being completely honest. • http://www.forbes.com/2006/02/15/employment-careers-interviews-cx_sr_0216bizbasics.html
