Remember, you guys have journals due Friday! 100 points is significant to your grade at this point. In addition, we will be finishing the research this week and doing 3-5 min presentations  next week on Mon and Tues. This research grade is a big one and can make or break your average. If you are doing the extra credit option, it's due Fri, 12/7.

Thanksgiving Thoughts...

I know that you are as grateful as I am to have a week off this next week. And I just want to say that, since time is going to fly by when we get back and you all will be walking out the doors of this room for the last time, I am really thankful for each of you. This semester has been one in which we have tried something new and you all have truly risen to the occasion. You guys are kind and funny and crazy and wild all at once. :) I probably have never been as proud of you as I was the day of the Macbeth seminar. You are so capable of so much and I can't wait to watch you accomplish it!

For the break, just relax. We are going to hit the research hard when we return, probably read some Frankenstein, some war poetry, watch a movie... The next month is going to zip by, so be ready!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Macbeth Themes

Our Macbeth seminar went FABULOUSLY! I am so proud of you guys and how well you did with it. These are the themes that various people mentioned for Macbeth. They are so stunningly profound, I wanted to document them here:

Greed can turn you into a different person.

Fair is foul, and foul is fair.

Battle of good and evil

Don't try to be someone you aren't.

Be happy with the life you have.

Selfishness

If you touch evil in any way, you pay a price. ** LOVE THIS ONE!

Even good can be corrupted.  ** LOVE THIS ONE!

You need to know when to say no.

Awesome job with the Scottish play! You guys are great. :)

Satire!

Here are a couple of resources for satire, should you wish to investigate further (all two people who are reading this).

A funny prom website

The Onion
