SUMMARY:

Set in medieval Scotland, Macbeth charts the prophetic rise to power and tragic downfall of general Macbeth. Already a successful soldier in King Duncan's army, Macbeth is informed by Three Witches that he is to become king. As part of the same prophecy, the Witches predict that future Scottish kings will be descended not from Macbeth but from his fellow army captain, Banquo. Macbeth, and his power-hungry wife - Lady Macbeth, is taken aback when King Duncan nominates his son Malcolm as his heir. Propelled by ambition, confusion, and greed, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth scheme to take the thrown and keep it...even if it means to murder the king.

This 10th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to delve into the importance of what happens when we don't check our ambitions. Can we be too ambitious? Can one person show both heroic and villainous sides at the same time?

This resource should accompany the short story The Beans and Rice Chronicles of Isaiah Dunn by Kelly J. Baptist. The page numbers listed in this resource align with the book Flying Lessons and Other Stories. This resource includes 4 pages of both color and b/w worksheets which include a pre-reading journal question, tiered reading questions, vocabulary, and a focus on supporting analysis with textual evidence. A 10 page presentation accompanies the worksheets and includes an answer key.

This is a sensitive story. One of the tiered reading questions addresses coping strategies in times of grief. This question needs to be approached in an open, honest, non-judgmental way. If this is not the way you operate, skip this resource.

This product features all the materials you need to assign a compare/contrast essay for Roald Dahl's Lamb to the Slaughter and Edgar Allan Poe's The Black Cat.

For this assignment, students will need to think critically and specifically about the similarities and differences between the two famous stories of marital strife taken to the extreme. A comprehensive chart is provided to prompt students to take a close look at both tales and to think beyond the obvious (like the fact that they are written by different authors) and consider the deeper similarities and differences (plot structure, mental state of the narrators, and elements of suspense, etc.) between them. These thoughtfully-constructed materials will help students develop exemplary compare/contrast essays that they can be proud of!

Product Includes:

• Complete assignment directions
• Specific similarities/differences chart with 16 story components
• Venn diagram template
• Essay graphic organizer (Block Method)
• Rubric
• Teacher key for chart

This assignment works well in any short story unit but is best near Halloween when creepy is the way to go!
