Macbeth Tomorrow Soliloquy foldable literary analysis act 5 scene 5 + answers!
By The Red-Haired Reader
This product will allow your students to easily understand and analyze Macbeth's "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" soliloquy in Act 5 Scene 5 of Macbeth by breaking it down line-by-line!
Instruct your students to fold the paper in half the long way, and to cut along the black lines into the midline of the paper. They will end up with a long, skinny version of the soliloquy on the front of the flaps and analysis question inside.
As they read the soliloquy, they will peel back the flap to reveal questions that ask them to analyze the text for imagery, tone, diction, syntax, personification, metaphor, theme, and alliteration.
This product is perfect for your students' interactive notebooks, as an in-class activity, or for homework.
Lesson Plan on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Love in its many forms is the most important theme in *A Midsummer Night’s Dream. *The romantic encounters and subsequent confusions are the greatest cause of conflict in the play.
The play gives us variations on the theme of love – idyllic young love in the case of Hermia and Lysander; passionate and possessive love between Titania and Oberon; love lost and found again as with Helena and Demetrius; love as conquest as in the case of Theseus and Hippolyta. Shakespeare makes a point of infusing A Midsummer Night’s Dream with more than just a two-dimensional notion of romantic love – he shows us the darker side where we see love’s inconstancy, its violence, its possessiveness, and its illusory nature.
This lesson plan is designed specifically for Shakespeare's classic comedy. It lasts approximately 90 minutes (depending on the class size) and has activities for all types of learners. The photocopiable student sheet with the activities is included, as well as a separate sheet with the answers.
Shakespeare's "Death Lines" Activity
By Language Arts Excellence
This activity is the perfect blend of educational and fun to supplement your unit on Shakespeare!
In this full-length lesson plan, students will closely examine the final lines of Shakespearean characters before their deaths (if you know Shakespeare, there are quite a few!). Following a mini-lesson on the importance of these final words, students will take part in the classic game, Mafia, with a unique, Shakespearean twist. I invented the take on this game several years ago and it has become one of my students' and my favorite days of the whole school year. There is truly nothing like seeing students having a great time while studying and performing Shakespeare. Your students will ask to play this game again and again!

By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Twelfth Night incorporates many classic elements of comedic theater. At the core of its structure lies a network of complex romantic liaisons (Orsino loves Olivia, Olivia is smitten with Cesario and later Sebastian, Viola has feelings for Orsino, while Sir Andrew and Malvolio are attracted to Olivia); disguise (the plot centers around Viola disguising herself as a male servant to survive after being shipwrecked in Illyria); mistaken identities (Viola and Sebastian are twins so alike that nobody can tell them apart); trickery and mischief; a rich offering of song and dance; the satire of hypocrisy, excess, and arrogance; a fleeting period of chaos and confusion; concluding with a resolution where all misunderstandings are resolved and three marriages take place.
This ebook features an extensive lesson plan focused on 'Twelfth Night' and includes multiple activities intended to last at least 90 minutes. A unique printable worksheet for learners is included, along with the answer guide.
