Task 2: Explorations:

As a HL class we need to be voyagers seeking knowledge--I may be the captain of the ship but you all are my able mates! And as we explore , we need to make sure that certain landmarks are discovered. Here is a list of landmarks that we need to touch upon in the first two classes. Please be in a hurry to commit your name beside any one topic or more---it's first come first booking  basis---those of you who are tardy run the danger of being lumped with a topic you don't want or worse still you get nominated by me:(

Deadline for booking Monday, 16July---then you get two whole weeks to prepare for presentation in class.Presentation time --max 10 minutes....we need to discuss too:D

• Sources that Shakespeare used for Macbeth
• Historical Macbeth and link to the Stuarts
• Globe theatre and performance settings--what stage props were for use?
• Shakespeare's audience
• Special terms associated with drama( literary naturally)
• Witchcraft and its association in Elizabethan England
• Why would you want to read Macbeth, apart from the fact that it is part of your DP syllabus and my favourite?
• Could Macbeth have been part of another time and another culture?
• Is Shakespeare's language a barrier to understanding his plays?
