2. Today I would like you to exchange your essay structure sheet with your pre-selected partner.
3. Now that you have your partner’s sheet, I would like you to look it over. Read it thoroughly. As you are reading I would like you to consider the subject matter and come up with vocabulary words you think might help clarify or further express what it is your partner is trying to say.
4. Take out a sheet of loose-leaf. On that paper I would like you list 10 vocabulary words you think might enrich your partner’s essay.
1. Gargantuan. I think you should consider this word because Megalodons are gargantuan.
2. Paragon. I think this word works because Megalodons were paragons of predation
3. Omnipotent. Even though this word exaggerates the power of the creature, maybe it might serve to spice up the language?
Etc.
5. Next to each word explain HOW and WHY this word will be useful—Be very specific.
6. After you have made your list and recorded specific, evidence-based explanations, I would like to come up with an additional five questions you have about the essay. List those questions beneath the vocabulary list.
1. What exactly did the Megalodon eat and are any of those creatures alive today?
2. What sort of animals might Megalodon feed on today if it were still alive?
3. Would Megalodon be interested in eating people?
Etc.
7. We will then exchange the papers and discuss what we came up with.
HOMEWORK:
1. Review your partner's written suggestions and
2. Begin composing support sentences that address the questions they generated and implementing the vocabulary they suggested.
3. If you have not found an article, please do so tonight and bring it in tomorrow.
Today we did the following. Please review and then go on to the homework that follows:
CCS: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
AIM: HOW does the news of his promotion seem to change Macbeth? Is this change good or bad and WHY?ß
2) After you have created the KWL chart, please cite three items in the K column.
3) Now exchange charts with preselected partner and fill in your partner’s W column: cite three things you “w”ant to know.
(A little help):
Summary: Act 1, scene 4
At the king’s palace, Duncan hears reports of Cawdor’s execution from his son Malcolm, who says that Cawdor died nobly, confessing freely and repenting of his crimes. Macbeth and Banquo enter with Ross and Angus. Duncan thanks the two generals profusely for their heroism in the battle, and they profess their loyalty and gratitude toward Duncan. Duncan announces his intention to name Malcolm the heir to his throne. Macbeth declares his joy but notes to himself that Malcolm now stands between him and the crown. Plans are made for Duncan to dine at Macbeth’s castle that evening, and Macbeth goes on ahead of the royal party to inform his wife of the king’s impending arrival.
5) Return the chart and discuss findings.
3) After you’re finished, please record the following questions in your notebook and answer them using “evidence to support your analysis” in the form of quotations & any vocabulary you find relevant:
a) How is Macbeth changing?
b) How does Malcolm pose a problem?
4) Macbeth now desires the Kingdom. He is obviously greedy—or is he? I would like you to discuss what you think the difference is between GREED and AMBITION (astrongdesireforsome type ofachievementaspower,honor,fame, or wealth, andthewillingness to strive for itsattainment). Cite EVIDENCE to support your analysis.
HOMEWORK:
Please read the following excerpt.
As you read you will notice certain words have been highlighted.
After you have finished reading, I would like you to "Do now" them:
1) copy down the highlighted words
2) record the definition for the words and
3) create a sentence using that word.
After completing this activity, please answer the guided questions that follow.
Keep in mind that each answer should not only address the question completely, but also include "evidence to support [your] analysis" in the form of quotations from the text.
Macbeth
Act I, Scene 4
Forres. The palace.
:
- Duncan. Is execution done on Cawdor? Are not
Those in commission yet return'd?
- Malcolm. My liege,
They are not yet come back. But I have spoke
With one that saw him die: who did report 280
That very frankly he confess'd his treasons,
Implored your highness' pardon and set forth
A deep repentance: nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving it; he died
As one that had been studied in his death 285
To throw away the dearest thing he owed,
As 'twere a careless trifle.
- Duncan. There's no art
To find the mind's construction in the face:
He was a gentleman on whom I built 290
An absolute trust.
[Enter MACBETH, BANQUO, ROSS, and ANGUS]
O worthiest cousin!
The sin of my ingratitude even now
Was heavy on me: thou art so far before 295
That swiftest wing of recompense is slow
To overtake thee. Would thou hadst less deserved,
That the proportion both of thanks and payment
Might have been mine! only I have left to say,
More is thy due than more than all can pay. 300
- Macbeth. The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself. Your highness' part
Is to receive our duties; and our duties
Are to your throne and state children and servants,
Which do but what they should, by doing every thing 305
Safe toward your love and honour.
- Duncan. Welcome hither:
I have begun to plant thee, and will labour
To make thee full of growing. Noble Banquo,
That hast no less deserved, nor must be known 310
No less to have done so, let me enfold thee
And hold thee to my heart.
- Banquo. There if I grow,
The harvest is your own.
- Duncan. My plenteous joys, 315
Wanton in fulness, seek to hide themselves
In drops of sorrow. Sons, kinsmen, thanes,
And you whose places are the nearest, know
We will establish our estate upon
Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter 320
The Prince of Cumberland; which honour must
Not unaccompanied invest him only,
But signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine
On all deservers. From hence to Inverness,
And bind us further to you. 325
- Macbeth. The rest is labour, which is not used for you:
I'll be myself the harbinger and make joyful
The hearing of my wife with your approach;
So humbly take my leave.
- Duncan. My worthy Cawdor! 330
- Macbeth. [Aside] The Prince of Cumberland! that is a step
On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap,
For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see my black and deep desires:
The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be, 335
Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
- Duncan. True, worthy Banquo; he is full so valiant,
And in his commendations I am fed;
It is a banquet to me. Let's after him, 340
Whose care is gone before to bid us welcome:
It is a peerless kinsman.
1. Who was appointed successor to Duncan? What title was he given?
2. What was Macbeth’s reaction to this appointment? Why? Senior Homework 9.26.11
as inferences drawn from the text.
Today we did the following. Please review and then go on to the homework that follows:

2) After you have created the KWL chart, please cite three items in the K column.
3) Now exchange charts with preselected partner and fill in your partner’s W column: cite three things you “w”ant to know.
4) Give back the charts and go over the text (ON THE BACK OF THIS PAPER) seeing if you can satisfy your partner’s inquiry (what they are asking or curious about); that is: if you find the answer to one of their inquiries in the W column, make sure that your answer accompanies EVIDENCE to SUPPORT that ANALYSIS—from the ORIGINAL TEXT ON THE BACK…
(A little help):
Summary: Act I, scene iii
In Polonius’s house, Laertes prepares to leave for France. Bidding his sister, Ophelia, farewell, he cautions her against falling in love with Hamlet, who is, according to Laertes, too far above her by birth to be able to love her honorably. Since Hamlet is responsible not only for his own feelings but for his position in the state, it may be impossible for him to marry her. Ophelia agrees to keep Laertes’ advice as a “watchman” close to her heart but urges him not to give her advice that he does not practice himself. Laertes reassures her that he will take care of himself.
Polonius enters to bid his son farewell. He tells Laertes that he must hurry to his ship but then delays him by giving him a great deal of advice about how to behave with integrity and practicality. Polonius admonishes Laertes to keep his thoughts to himself, restrain himself from acting on rash desires, and treat people with familiarity but not with vulgarity. He advises him to hold on to his old friends but be slow to embrace new friends; to be slow to quarrel but to fight boldly if the need arises; to listen more than he talks; to dress richly but not gaudily; to refrain from borrowing or lending money; and, finally, to be true to himself above all things.
Laertes leaves, bidding farewell to Ophelia once more. Alone with his daughter, Polonius asks Ophelia what Laertes told her before he left. Ophelia says that it was “something touching the Lord Hamlet” (I.ii.89). Polonius asks her about her relationship with Hamlet. She tells him that Hamlet claims to love her. Polonius sternly echoes Laertes’ advice, and forbids Ophelia to associate with Hamlet anymore. He tells her that Hamlet has deceived her in swearing his love, and that she should see through his false vows and rebuff his affections. Ophelia pledges to obey.
5) Return the chart and discuss findings.
3) After you’re finished, please record the following questions in your notebook and answer them using “evidence to support your analysis” in the form of quotations & any vocabulary you find relevant:
a) How does Laertes feel about Hamlet?
b) How do you think Ophelia feels about him in her heart?
4) How do you think the advice of a parent or authority figure factors into a decision about who a person falls in love with or is attracted to? Do you think that when we are told to stay away from a person that this excites or diminishes (lessens) our feelings for them? How does it do this and why? PLEASE cite EVIDENCE to support your analysis.

Hamlet
Act I, Scene 3
Elsinore. A room in the house of Polonius.
Enter Laertes and Ophelia.
- Laertes. My necessaries are embark'd. Farewell.
And, sister, as the winds give benefit
And convoy is assistant, do not sleep,
But let me hear from you.485
- Ophelia. Do you doubt that?
- Laertes. For Hamlet, and the trifling of his favour,
Hold it a fashion, and a toy in blood;
A violet in the youth of primy nature,
Forward, not permanent- sweet, not lasting; 490
The perfume and suppliance of a minute;
No more.
- Ophelia. No more but so?
- Laertes. Think it no more.
For nature crescent does not grow alone 495
In thews and bulk; but as this temple waxes,
The inward service of the mind and soul
Grows wide withal. Perhaps he loves you now,
And now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch
The virtue of his will; but you must fear, 500
His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own;
For he himself is subject to his birth.
He may not, as unvalued persons do,
Carve for himself, for on his choice depends
The safety and health of this whole state, 505
And therefore must his choice be circumscrib'd
Unto the voice and yielding of that body
Whereof he is the head. Then if he says he loves you,
It fits your wisdom so far to believe it
As he in his particular act and place 510
May give his saying deed; which is no further
Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open 515
To his unmast'red importunity.
Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister,
And keep you in the rear of your affection,
Out of the shot and danger of desire.
The chariest maid is prodigal enough 520
If she unmask her beauty to the moon.
Virtue itself scopes not calumnious strokes.
The canker galls the infants of the spring
Too oft before their buttons be disclos'd,
And in the morn and liquid dew of youth 525
Contagious blastments are most imminent.
Be wary then; best safety lies in fear.
Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
- Ophelia. I shall th' effect of this good lesson keep
As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, 530
Do not as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads
And recks not his own rede.535
- Laertes. O, fear me not!
[Enter Polonius. ]
I stay too long. But here my father comes.
A double blessing is a double grace;
Occasion smiles upon a second leave.540
- Polonius. Yet here, Laertes? Aboard, aboard, for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There- my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, 545
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar:
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment 550
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. 555
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and generous, chief in that. 560
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all- to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day, 565
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell. My blessing season this in thee!
- Laertes. Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
- Polonius. The time invites you. Go, your servants tend.
- Laertes. Farewell, Ophelia, and remember well 570
What I have said to you.
- Ophelia. 'Tis in my memory lock'd,
And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
- Laertes. Farewell. Exit.
- Polonius. What is't, Ophelia, he hath said to you?575
- Ophelia. So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet.
- Polonius. Marry, well bethought!
'Tis told me he hath very oft of late
Given private time to you, and you yourself
Have of your audience been most free and bounteous. 580
If it be so- as so 'tis put on me,
And that in way of caution- I must tell you
You do not understand yourself so clearly
As it behooves my daughter and your honour.
What is between you? Give me up the truth.585
- Ophelia. He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders
Of his affection to me.
- Polonius. Affection? Pooh! You speak like a green girl,
Unsifted in such perilous circumstance.
Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?590
- Ophelia. I do not know, my lord, what I should think,
- Polonius. Marry, I will teach you! Think yourself a baby
That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay,
Which are not sterling. Tender yourself more dearly,
Or (not to crack the wind of the poor phrase, 595
Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool.
- Ophelia. My lord, he hath importun'd me with love
In honourable fashion.
- Polonius. Ay, fashion you may call it. Go to, go to!
- Ophelia. And hath given countenance to his speech, my lord, 600
With almost all the holy vows of heaven.
- Polonius. Ay, springes to catch woodcocks! I do know,
When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul
Lends the tongue vows. These blazes, daughter,
Giving more light than heat, extinct in both 605
Even in their promise, as it is a-making,
You must not take for fire. From this time
Be something scanter of your maiden presence.
Set your entreatments at a higher rate
Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet, 610
Believe so much in him, that he is young,
And with a larger tether may he walk
Than may be given you. In few, Ophelia,
Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers,
Not of that dye which their investments show, 615
But mere implorators of unholy suits,
Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds,
The better to beguile. This is for all:
I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth
Have you so slander any moment leisure 620
As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet.
Look to't, I charge you. Come your ways.
- Ophelia. I shall obey, my lord.
Questions:
2. What does Laertes say must govern Hamlet's marriage choice?
3. What advice does Ophelia in turn give to Laertes?
